Hello guys, how can I use the switch statement with a string, a vector or char[]? Or is there an alternative to this? Thanks and best wishes.

switch only works with integral types.

There are a lot of different cases, so an if statement won't be such a good choice. Futhermore i want to switch the whole string not just the first letter. In the worst case I've to use a map, combining the strings with integers.
You probably need a hash table.
