String to object name.

Say I have a lot of objects of the same class. I also have a string, which I know is the same as the name of one of the objects. Also, each object has a string variable which is the same as its name. How can I call on the object relevant to the string in my code?

If I have done a poor job in explaining myself, tell me.

I would put all the objects in a map. This way you can do something like:

Code:

---

myclass* c = mymap["object_name"];

---

So an array of objects?

No, a map. Check out std::map.
