Thread: Switch statements for strings

Hi,

I am trying to use a switch statements for strings but it is not working is there any other method I could use ?? . ( I am trying to avoid using lots of if, else statements )

Thank you in Advance

Switch statements don't work with strings.

Thats why he was asking for another method

Use strcomp() to compare strings.

typecast the string to long? this is probably very ugly but could work

You would have to iterate through the whole character array and cast it to long, add up the values or something similar and then compare.

In short, yes, very ugly.
