Dear all,
This is somewhat the following of a previous topic:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/julia-users/CvQMwq2rN9I but since
the two issues have little in common, I thought it was better to create a
new topic.
I'd like to access the members of a type via a string, i.e. if I define:
type parameters
p1::Float64
p2::Float64
p3::Float64
end
p = parameters(3.6, 0.6, 600.0)
label = "p1"
is there a way to access p.p1 through something like:
p.names(label)
I guess this has to do with reflection in julia. I know there is a way to
get the names through
names(p)
but there's nothing in the documentation about what I'm looking for. I did
some research and I came across this reflection.jl file:
https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/base/reflection.jl that I
tried to decypher, but with little success. (Incidentally, I'd be
interested in understanding what happens here if there's some resource
helping to do so.)
Thanks a lot,
AS
