At compile time there is no way of determining if T has an initializer that takes a string. You could do something like this ---------------- protocol InitFromString { init?(_ value: String) } func genericFor<T: InitFromString>(s:String) -> T { return T(s)! } ---------------- Then add extensions to the various types you want to convert to make sure they conform to the InitFromString protocol. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
