weevil Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hi, I am trying to create a function to ascertain what text is on the screen and do different things based upon the results. I am using the ClipGet() and StringInStr commands to find out what's on the screen, but I do not know how to contain all this within a single function to then do other functions based on the result. Example: If text = hello-world then do functionA If text = foobar then do functionB If text = ruhroh then do functionC At the moment there are three different functions I need to do based on the results, but this will most likely increase so I need it to be flexible with that in mind. Any bright ideas? Obviously I'm not a programmer by nature because from my very beginner experience in AutoIt I can sense there's a simple solution here but I'm struggling to search for the answer because I don't know what to search for!

weevil Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 This looks like just the job, there's only a very simple example usage of Switch there but I'm thinking something like (this is pseudocode) Switch Clipget() case hello-world functionA() case foobar functionB() case ruhroh functionC() EndSwitch Will this work? I can then add additional cases and applicable functions when I need to expand? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
