Switch...Case...

[BinaryBrother]

$Var = 4
Switch $Var
    Case 1
        ConsoleWrite("1")
    Case 2 Or 3
        ConsoleWrite("2 or 3")
    Case 4, 5
        ConsoleWrite("4 or 5")
    Case Else
        ConsoleWrite("Else")
EndSwitch

Console Output: "2 or 3"

I'm missing something here... No matter what $Var is, console writes "2 or 3". Except for $Var = 1, which works as expected.

Edit: Is the case matching because 3 is 3?

[Case <value> [To <value>] [,<value> [To <value>] ...]
It doesn't say anything about 'οr' 

$Var = 4
Switch $Var
    Case 1
        ConsoleWrite("1")
    Case 2 To 3
        ConsoleWrite("2 or 3")
    Case 4, 5
        ConsoleWrite("4 or 5")
    Case Else
        ConsoleWrite("Else")
EndSwitch

Seems like that would trigger a syntax error. Thanks for the clarification.

[orbs]

the number 0  equals the boolean False

any other number equals the boolean True

so:

2 = True

3 = True

(2 Or 3) = (True or True) = True

so the condition is always met.

I figured it was something like that. You'd think after all the years on this forum I would have ran into this before. X)

Edit: I'm getting older. I've probably forgotten more than I've learned.

Thanks for the speedy responses! ^.^
