Montfrooij Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) 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 endifWhere 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' optionSo 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 Edited March 21, 2012 by Montfrooij
Bowmore Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 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 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning."- Rick Cook
