maping two values via enum

vijkrr (86)
Hi

I've two values
eg

enum
{
zero_t = 0,
one_t,
two_t,
}
from one funciton I'll get this enum value.

but acutal string value of zero_t = "ZERO"
i need to convert that zero_t to "ZERO".

On otherway I'llget a string "ZERO" i need to convert to zero_t.

How to do this??

You can't stick a string in an enum, but here is what you can do: 

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
 
enum eNumber
{
  zero_t = 0,
  one_t,
  two_t,
  eNumbersize,
};

string NumStrings[eNumbersize] = { "ZERO", "ONE", "TWO" };


Then to convert your enum into a string:
cout << NumStrings[zero_t];

this will give zero_t to ZERO.

But I need
"Zero" to zero_t also.

both viseversa I need.

basically encoding and decoding.

If you don't want boost, this could work:

And here it is a little more specified (less generalized) for readability if you don't plan to port it to other stuff:
