STL map and functions.

[roelj]

I am trying to make a map that takes a string and links it to a function.

so what I did:

map<string,int> Index;

But how can I add a function that returns an int?

I tried:

Index["quit"] = quit();

But that won't work.

Is it possible to link a string to a function with the STL map?
And if so, how?

The syntax you are using is incorrect; your code simply assigns Index to the value quit() returns. This page details C++'s syntax for function pointers: http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial...-pointers.html

Index["quit"] = &quit

Thank you for your help.

You pushed me in the right direction. Although I'm not exactly sure how it works.
But that will come in time.

Thanks!
