[Closed] classof struct Name?

Jul 31, 2008 11:14 pm

Is there a way to get the struct name for a defined struct?

I can do classof struct and it’ll return the entire struct definition but what if I just want the name to check it against a string?

the dirty way is to do something like:

 classof structvar as string == structdef as string

or even worse:

((filterstring (classof structvar as string) "(:")[2]) == "NameString"

playing with strings seems the only way

Though, if you’re doing a comparison, presumably you have a structure definition to test against? If so, you can do “isKindOf bar foo”, where bar is a struct instance and foo is a struct definition. Yields true if bar is an instance of foo.

That works perfectly

I tried:

classof structvar == structdef

and that always returned false.

isKindof is actually what I wanted.
