Hey Darren -
Try NSClassFromString.
Animal* anAnimal = [[NSClassFromString(@"Dog") alloc] init]

Hi everyone.
I have the situation where I need to dynamically create an object
based on
the value held in a string at runtime. I'm pretty sure the dynamic
nature
of objective-c would allow this, but I cant seem to find the right
method on
NSString or NSObject. I want to do this:
NSString* someClass = @"Dog";
Animal* anAnimal = [[someClass alloc] init];
I know this isn't right, but I'm trying to use the value held in
someClass
as the name of the class I want to instantiate. thanks for the help.
