I'm writing a microEmacs to insert in a larger program. I want to be able to bind functions to arbitrarily long strings of characters surrounded by white spaces, so the discussion of function pointers has been useful. However, I'm also looking for a way to use strings as indexes into an array of function pointers. Anyone know a clever way to do this? I'm sure the problem must have been solved any number of times by spelling checkers any among other programs. (Erhh...PROGRAMMERS of spelling checkers!) Come to think of it, anyone know a good book on using C to implement various kinds of data structures? Various kinds of functions, such as windowing systems? Seems like a good thing to have in one's library. Larry @ jpl-vlsi.arpa
