Set Object's fields by string parameters.

Hi,
I process XML files. The XML has special structura so I create a mapper. Example: Account.ID -> Account.ExternalId__c
I want to set the account's field via string parameters. How can I create this procedure?

void SetByParams(Account acc, String field, String value){
   //abstract: acc.'field' = value;
}

Hi Koszi,

you have to use .Put method for dynamically assign field and value.
see below example,

Example:
void SetByParams(Account acc, String field, String value){
       //abstract: acc.'field' = value;
       acc.put(field,value);
    }

Thank You,
