STATEMENT: Select Case
Select Case
The
Select Case
conditional statement selectively executes different groups of code by comparing a variable to a
Case
(a series of conditions). If one of the cases (conditions) is satisfied, then the code associated with that case is executed.
You may specify multiple, comma-delimited conditions for each
Case
as in the first example below. If there not is a match, then the
Case
is skipped over and the next
Case
is considered, and so on for each
Case
.
Note that it is quite possible that none of the cases will be satisfied. Therefore, you may wish to use the optional
Case Else
statement. It will only execute if none of the other conditions match.
You must end the
Select Case
statement with
End Select
or you will get an error message.
Code:
<%
Select Case finalnumber
Case 1, 5
result = "The result is 1 or 5"
Case 2
result = "The result is 2"
Case 3
result = "The result is 3"
End Select
%>
Code:
<%
Select Case firstname
Case "Brenn"
Welcome = "Hello Brenn"
Case "Fred"
Welcome = "Hello Fred"
Case "Susan"
Welcome = "Hello Susan"
Case Else
Welcome = "Hello world"
End Select
%>
