Is it possible to get the string value from a pointer to a string?
I'm using the goopt package to handle flag parsing and the package returns *string only. But I want to use these value to call a function in a map.
As an example.
var strPointer = new(string)
*strPointer = "string"
functions := map[string]func() {
"string": func(){
fmt.Println("works")
},
}
//Do something to get the string value
functions[strPointerValue]()
