Hi Folks,

I hope it's not inappropriate to ask a C language question here.

Is there a more elegant way to do the equivalent of a switch statement for a
character string value than a chain of if (strcmp())... else if
(strcmp())... else if.... ?

What I tried to do was

    switch (char-var) {
        case "string1":
        ...
    }

Eventually I figured out character strings aren't a data type in C.  Sigh...

Thanks.
