Cocoa: Getting the class of an attribute using a string

ok may sound bit wired, creating application/framework needs convert xml appropriate data type in objective-c class.

code:

  if([ [dictionary objectforkey:key] iskindofclass: [nsstring class]]==yes ) 			 {				 //set variable } 		 if([ [dictionary objectforkey:key] iskindofclass: [nsnumber class]]==yes ) {  //set variable  } 			 

[dictionary objectforkey:key]
returns name of attribute going updated, string self, above comparison string. need actual class of attribute , cant find way of doing it, have ideas ?

click expand...

i may oversimplifying this, don't have defined name each type in xml? example have things in dictionary like:
number
string
realnumber

seems need isequaltostring: , compare nsstring literals find type is. alternately, build own dictionary keys nsstrings appear in xml, , values class you'd like. pass nsstring objectforkey, , result class you'd use.

if doesn't cover you're trying do, might want explain bit more.
