110 :: string to enum

• exhu (orginal) [2012-11-23T13:51:37+01:00] view original

  Given:

  
  type
    TMyEnum = enum
      valueA = (0, "my value A"),
      valueB = "value B",
  Run

  Can I convert a string representation back to enum?

  
  var e: TMyEnum = enumToString("value B")
  Run

  Is there such enumToString function equivalent in standard library or should one define a hashtable with string->enum mapping?

  Use strutils.parseEnum. http://nimrod-code.org/strutils.html#133

  Ha, i was looking for it in parseutils, where parseInt, parseFloat etc. reside.
