how to use map to bind string and operation

Dear All:

I need to bind some strings with some operations by boost map.

For example,

if inputString == "prepareDataVector1"
dataVectorRegionRef = prepareDataVector1;
loadDataVector.push_back("prepareDataVector1");

else inputString == "prepareDataVector2"
dataVectorRegionRef = prepareDataVector2;
loadDataVector.push_back("prepareDataVector2");
else ... so on

I have checked boost lib, map can do mapping of two class,
I need to do mapping between string and operations.

Any help is appreciated.
