No "goto" so?

[Webber2222 0]

Ok... I read the FAQ and I saw that the command "goto" is not there anymore... I don't want to know why

But now I have a doubt (I don't think that the example on the FAQ can be applied here).

Let's say I need something like

$var = IniRead("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2", "key", "0");var can be "0" or "1" or "2" or "3"

if $var=0 goto 1
if $var=1 goto 2
if $var=2 goto 3
if $var=3 goto 4

1
$var="sample1"
goto 5
2
$var="sample2"
goto 5
3
$var="sample3"
goto 5
4
$var="sample4"
5
exit

That is just an example, of course.... now... can anyone give me a clue how can I do that without the "goto(s)".

My objctive is to be able to merge different "scripts" in one... launching the "part" I want to after reading the variable from an INI file - FYI... I need to merge them 'cause they alway have the size of 173kb if seperated, and something tells me that if I merge I'll be able to have them all with a file size almos equal

Thanks in advance

maybe

$var = IniRead("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2", "key", "0");var can be "0" or "1" or "2" or "3"

if $var=0 Then goto1()
if $var=1 Then goto2()
if $var=2 Then goto3()
if $var=3 Then goto4()

Func goto1()
$var="sample1"
goto5()
EndFunc

Func goto2()
$var="sample2"
goto5()
EndFunc

Func goto3()
$var="sample3"
goto5()
EndFunc

Func goto4()
$var="sample4"
goto5()
EndFunc

Func goto5()
exit
EndFunc

Would While...WEnd or Select...Case...EndSelect do the job (refer Help file)?

(Don't forget the otherwise bit, where none of the valid clauses apply - often a gotcha that makes debugging and program flow a real pain)

@Valuater

Thanks... that worked as smooth as a baby's ass

@Confuzzled

I'll take a look into those functions aswell.

If $var = 0 Then
;zeroth stuff
;...
ElseIf $var = 1 Then
;first stuff
;....
ElseIf $var = 2 Then
;second stuff
;....
ElseIf $var = 3 Then
;third stuff
Else
;optional other case
EndIf

Select...Case...EndSelect is also a good choice

Switch...Case...EndSwitch (in beta AutoIt version) is another

Switch $var
Case 0
;zero...
Case 1
;one...
Case 2
;two...
Case 3
;three...
EndSwitch

Edit: Well, the inner blocks should be indented. If you have really long sections of code, you could make the If statement or Case statement call a function like in Valuater's example.
