if statement with 'IN' expression [SOLVED]

[Montfrooij 0]

Hi,

I am trying to improve (shorten) my (sometimes) long 'if' statements that contain many 'or' expressions .

if $nMsg = $inpFilOms or $nMsg = $inpFilCycl or $nMsg = $inpFilDatV or $nMsg = $inpFilDatT or $nMsg = $inpFilGekop then
    ;do something
endif

Where the $nMsg is every time the same 'left' part of the expression and the action that will follow is also the same .

I am used to work with SQL syntax and there we have the 'IN' option

So that would be something like CASE WHEN $nMsg IN ($inpFilOms, $inpFilCycl,$inpFilDatV,$inpFilDatT,$inpFilGekop) then ....

Is there any way to achieve this in AutoIT?

It would make my statements somewhat shorter.

Thanks in advance.

Peter

You can get similar functionality by using a switch statement

Switch $nMsg
case $inpFilOms,$inpFilCycl,$inpFilDatV,$inpFilDatT,$inpFilGekop
;do something
case $otheropt
;do something
case else
;do something else
endswitch

That I did not know.

Thanks a lot!
