Can Objective-C switch on NSString?

Question

Is there a more intelligent way to rewrite this?

if ([cardName isEqualToString:@\"Six\"]) {
    [self setValue:6];
} else if ([cardName isEqualToString:@\"Se

For me, a nice easy way:

NSString *theString = @"item3";   // The one we want to switch on
NSArray *items = @[@"item1", @"item2", @"item3"];
int item = [items indexOfObject:theString];
switch (item) {
    case 0:
       // Item 1
       break;
    case 1:
       // Item 2
       break;
    case 2:
       // Item 3
       break;
    default:
       break;
}
