Description: A string lookup table is a set of functions that is used to convert strings to pre-defined values |
I created this code for a mod I was working on and I thought I'd share it with the community.
| | | | The contents of this file are designed for use with the Valve Source SDK, however, it's function can be adepted to work with other code, such as STL. Supplied are convenience macro's designed to convert from constant names to constant values. I think an example explains their usages best. |

#include "stringlookup.h"

//Of course, this is quite inconvenient, because the declared constants are

//supplied.

unsinged int uiStatus=0;
CUtlVector<unsinged int>* auiFlags;
auiFlags=CONVERT_STRING(FSTATUS_LOOKUP,pKV->GetString("status"));
for (int i=0;i<auiFlags->Count();i++)
uiStatus|=(*auiFlags)[i];
//(...)
//NOTE: A character that is not a letter, a capital letter, a number or an
//underscore is considered a separator. |
P.S.: Sorry for the zip, it's just one 8KB header file, but I cant upload .h's. |
