"how to convert string result of enum with overridden tostring() back to enum?" Code Answer

the best and simplest way to do it is like this:

public enum agerange {
    a18to23 ("18-23"),
    a24to29 ("24-29"),
    a30to35("30-35");

    private string value;

    agerange(string value){
        this.value = value;
    }

    public string tostring(){
        return value;
    }

    public static agerange getbyvalue(string value){
        for (final agerange element : enumset.allof(agerange.class)) {
            if (element.tostring().equals(value)) {
                return element;
            }
        }
        return null;
    }
}

then you just need to invoke the getbyvalue() method with the string input in it.
