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?

man NSModule
