Select case...Just wondering....

[muddy0409]

I haven't tried this yet, but my reading of the manual says I should be able to do something like-----

select case X 'X is the name of a/d variable

case 0<X<20
go do something
case 21<X<40 'or should this be IS >21 AND IS < 40
go do something different
case 41<X<60
go do something different still

etc, etc.
Does anyone reckon this will work?

Just thinking out loud,
Peter Moritz.

What about these?


First one works for sure.


SELECT CASE x

CASE IS < 21 'Between 0 and 20; including 20.

CASE IS > 20 AND IS < 41 'Between 21 and 40 ; including 21 and 40.

CASE IS > 40 AND IS < 61 'Between 41 and 60 ; including 41 and 60.

END SELECT



For this second one, I expect someone to confirm.




'Once it hits the first matching condition it should not go to the next one.
'Or will it?

SELECT CASE x

CASE IS < 21 'Between 0 and 20; including 20.

CASE IS < 41 'Between 21 and 40 ; including 21 and 40.

CASE IS < 61 'Between 41 and 60 ; including 41 and 60.

END SELECT

sayzer,
go with the second - it works the same as the first

[sayzer]

Ok, we get (save) more space then, as long as the values are in the same ascending order.

Muddy, pick the second.

To further the discussion, because I have never used select case before, can you do something like this:

SELECT CASE x

CASE IS < 21 led1

CASE IS < 41 led2

END SELECT

I am used to something like this

If x=1 then
goto led1
else
goto led2
endif


Also, an OT question. How do you guys get the code to display in blue?

Thanks,

Chris

Should work. If it doesn't, reverse the cases around a bit...

SELECT CASE x
CASE IS > 20
GOTO LED1
CASE IS > 0
GOTO LED2
END SELECT

Sometimes it's all about the order things go in...
