Select Case

Is there an Easy way to do this in ASP? Ive tried but I get a "Expected statement " error

Code:

---

Select Case iNumber
  Case 0 to 5
  Case 6 to 10
  Case 11 to 20
  Case 21 to 40
  Case 41 to 70
  Case 71 to 99
  Case > 99
  Case Else
End Select

Cheers!

Well, you could do this with a series of if/elsif, but to do it with a select switch...

First off, I assume you are using VBScript. Mind you ASP is not a language, it is a server-side technology. You could use JScript (among many others). I would suggest looking into JScript to see if the switch structure is more flexible.

In VBScript, I would suggest trying Case (> x and < y). It may not work, but I'm sure to won't. To implies that it is going to step through a series, as in a for loop.

Anyway, these aren't the answers, just a step toward finding them.

CiberTHuG, are you sure about "X To Y" not working? It works in regular VB, and if it's VBScript in question, the syntax is pretty much the same for logic structures

This this code...

Code:

---

<%
  x = 20
  Select Case x
    Case 0 to 5
      Response.Write("0 to 5")
    Case 6 to 10
      Response.Write("6 to 10")
    Case 11 to 20
      Response.Write("11 to 20")
    Case 21 to 40
      Response.Write("21 to 40")
    Case 41 to 70
      Response.Write("41 to 70")
    Case > 71
      Response.Write("> 71")
    Case Else
      Response.Write("0 to 5")
  End Select
%>

I get this error

Code:

---

Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0400)
Expected statement
/test/case.asp, line 4, column 7
Case 0 to 5
------^

---

I'll look into it some more.

In the meantime...

Code:

---

if (x > 0 and x < 6) then
  'do something
elseif(x > 5 and x < 11) then
  'do something
else
  'do something
end if

even i had the same problem then finally we used IF statements..

Hi,
It's the to statement that ASP doesn't like.
The following does work but it might be rather cumbersome if your case statements have a large range.

Code:

---

<%
  x = 20
  Select Case x
    Case 0,1,2,3,4,5
      Response.Write("0 to 5")
    Case 6,7,8,9,10
      Response.Write("6 to 10")
    Case 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20
      Response.Write("11 to 20")
    Case 21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40
      Response.Write("21 to 40")
    'Case 41 to 70
    '  Response.Write("41 to 70")
    'Case > 71
    '  Response.Write("> 71")
    'Case Else
    '  Response.Write("0 to 5")
  End Select
%>

Al.

Yeah, Chenko, its messy. The if/elseif will work better. You could always move on to a better language: JScript, Perl....
