[Quickfix-developers] Field name to number conversion

[George H. <ge...@so...>]

Hello everyone,

During runtime I want to read a file, with field names, and when a  
deal comes in, just print to screen
the fields I am interested in (for starters).

However, I see that the field names are enum'ed from file:  
FieldNumbers.h

How do I generate a field number from a string? Is there a built-in  
way of doing this
or do I have to (somehow) keep a copy of "FieldNumbers.h" in my  
executable?

Or, worst case, keep the fields I am interested in as numbers in the  
setup file?
This is not at all user friendly and I would like to avoid that.
