How to get the field type in runtime.

In runtime composed querry, that get result as List<sObject> when sObject type is specified also in runtime.

 

After this i need to make same manipulation with data that contains in that's sObject fields. So i need to get type for each of them.

 

I use part of code like this

 

List<sObject> QuerryResult = Database.querry(....); 

Schema.DescribeSObjectResult ObjDescribe = QuerryResult[0].getSObjectType().getDescribe();

Schema.DescribeFieldResult FieldDescribe =  ObjDescribe.fields.*Name Of Field*.getDescribe();

Schema.SOAPType FieldType = FieldDescribe.getSOAPType();

 So the first question is: How can i get the field from fields array, when FieldName contains in another string variable and I don't know it when write code, just in runtime. (mb smth like $ in php or Type.getType(string typeName) in C#)

 

And the second(closely wired with the first): How can i get Schema.DescribeSObjectResult when name of object contains in another string variable. Becouse make querry before getting  all info about recieving fields crossing with understandible of program.

 

Smth like this:

 

Schema.DescribeSObjectResult ObjDescribe = Schema.SObjectType.*Name of sObject*
