Select : EndSelect

Select <expression1>
  Case <expression> [, <expression> [<numeric expression> To <numeric expression>]]
     ...
  [Case <expression>]
     ...
  [Default] 
     ...
EndSelect 

Select allows a quick choice. The program will execute the <expression1> and keep its value in memory. It will compare this value to all of the Case <expression> values and if true it will execute the corresponding code and quit the Select structure. Case support multi-values and values range with the optional To keyword (numeric values only). If none of the Case values are true, then the Default code will be executed (if specified).

Note: Select will accept floats as <expression1> but will round them down to the nearest integer (comparisons will be done only with integer values).

Example: Simple example

  Value = 2
  
  Select Value
    Case 1
      Debug "Value = 1"
      
    Case 2 
      Debug "Value = 2"
      
    Case 20 
      Debug "Value = 20"
      
    Default
      Debug "I don't know"
  EndSelect

Example: Multicase and range example

  Value = 2
  
  Select Value
    Case 1, 2, 3
      Debug "Value is 1, 2 or 3"
      
    Case 10 To 20, 30, 40 To 50
      Debug "Value is between 10 and 20, equal to 30 or between 40 and 50"
      
    Default
      Debug "I don't know"
      
  EndSelect
