[Boost-users] converting a string to a function name

Hi is there a way to convert a string to a function name and fire it. like void his_fun(){ cout << "his is here" << endl; } vector<string> vec; vec.push_back("his"); vec.push_back("me"); for(i=0; i<vec.size(); i++) string var = vec[i] + _fun; fire(var); and it will fire the routine "his_fun? is so, how? what whole idea is to avoid typing vector<func_ptr> vec; vec.push_back( &func_1 ); vec.push_back( &func_n ); ... thanks --------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
