wt35 Access Custom Setting field with a string
Hi all,
Looking for some help on how to access a Custom Setting field with a String.
My use case is, I retrieve a month name as a string from a date eg. "January".
Thanks to that value I have to retrieve the value from the appropriate field in my Custom Setting instance (in this case January__c).
How can I convert my string to the metadata field name, knowing that these fields have the exact names + '__c'
Can anybody provide a snippet of code?
Thanks!

String theMonth = 'January';
My_Custom_Setting__c myCustomSetting = My_Custom_Setting__c.getInstance( 'MyCustomSettingName' );
String theFieldValue = (String) myCustomSetting.get( theMonth + '__c' );
