Let's say I have a struct... type Contact struct { Id int `json:"id"` FirstName *string `json:"firstname"` LastName *string `json:"lastname"` Email *string `json:"email"` Phone *string `json:"phone"` Ext *string `json:"ext"` }
I define contact... var contact Contact I put a query from the db such as and populate contact if no errors were returned... err := q.Scan(&contact.Id, &contact.FirstName, &contact.LastName, &contact. Email, &contact.Phone, &contact.Ext) Problem is... later I use this contact for something else in my code, and get a nil object exception for contact.Ext because it was nil in the db and doesn't actually contain anything... not even a "". How do I check this field for nil before processing it so I can handle it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
