Switch with a Case Groupvar


Recommended Posts

I use the following switch several times through out my script (because it does a series of different checks). The problem is any time I want to make an addition to the group I've got to do a SearchReplace. I want to use a var instead but I don't know how. So here's the Switch, then I'll show you what I'm trying to do. *Note: I cannot post the entire working script due to security reasons. I can make a mock-script if need be

Switch $AccountsArray[2]
    case 0656102,0652568,2634443,435137,87588,57567380,18900977,98668777,895600746,0002310,1321468

        case 964783,4553245
                                    
    case Else

EndSwitchoÝ÷ Øæï¬+ay·¥£"Yè·

You could use the function _ArraySearch( ) with the Array.au3 file (remember to include it).

Syntax: _ArraySearch($avArray, $vWhat2Find, $iStart = 0, $iEnd = 0,$iCaseSense=0, $fPartialSearch = False)

If it doesn't find your number, it returns -1 and if it does, it returns the index where it found it.

I would also use it as a Select rather than Switch, since it makes the code easier for me..

#inclue "Array.au3"

Select
     Case _ArraySearch($group1, $AccountsArray[2]) <> -1
            [stuff for when the account # is in group 1]
     Case _ArraySearch($group2, $AccountsArray[2]) <> -1
            [stuff for when the account # is in group 2]
     Case Else
            [stuff for when the account # is in neither]
EndSelect

One cheesey trick for putting multiple cases in like that is:

$String = "0656102,0652568,2634443,435137,87588,57567380,18900977,98668777,895600746,0002310,1321468"
If $StringInStr($String, $AccountsArray[2]) Then
; 
ElseIf StringInStr("964783,4553245", $AccountsArray[2]) Then
;
Else
; 
EndIf

Of course, I don't code like that any more... much. :rolleyes:

P.S. One reason not to do that is that you might get matches on partial strings, like 56.

PsaltyDS, oh I didn't even think of doing it that way

I think I'm going to stick with the Array method though because I actually have to change how the script is getting the account numbers.

Nonetheless, is it better to use Select or If ?I know this may come down to personal preferences, but I'd really like to know thoughts on this choice!

Good choice. Arrays are how I do that kind of thing these days; I shouldn't have mentioned old bad habits.

Probably no difference. Switch and Select are just alternate ways to write a long chain of If/ElseIf/Else/EndIf. They exist for human readability and ease of maintenance, not because they work differently from 'If'. I can't prove it (others on this forum can), but Switch, Select, and If all probably call the exact same compiled code inside the interpreter.

:rolleyes:

Actually, I appreciate it because it reminds me of concepts that I've overlooked.

That would be FASCINATING to know. Maybe someone can impart the answer to your statement :rambo::rolleyes:
