[Implemented] Multiple Expressions in Case Statement

ebs · Post by **ebs** » Sat Dec 27, 2003 8:02 pm

I'm converting some Visual Basic code (to read EXIF information in image files) to PB and I ran into this minor annoyance. In VB, the Case statement (in a Select Case) can have multiple expressions, as in:

Code: Select all

Select Case Var
  Case 1,3,5
          .
          .
  Case 16,20,32
          .
          .
End Select

In PB, I have to repeat whole blocks of code to get the same result. I know I can use multiple If - ElseIf statements in PB, put this would be a handy addition to the PB Select statement, if it isn't too hard to implement.

And it was already on the wishlist, see here, here and here.

So its up to Fred....

Currently the best choice is to use If, ElseIf, Else, EndIf instead.
