I have a situation where I have a string passed into my controller
where it needs to be evaluated into an extern NSString constant.
As an example, I get the value @"kABPhoneWorkFAXLabel" passed in.
If I do the following:
NSString *stringFromTextField = [textField stringValue]; //(IOW it is
@"kABPhoneWorkFAXLabel" )
ABPerson *person = [self getARandomPerson];
[person valueForProperty:stringFromTextField];
It will always of course return nil. Is there a method to evaluate
*stringFromTextField to a named constant?
Something like constNamed() function that would evaluate the obj-c
symbol and find it?
Thanks for any help.
Andre
