Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to run separate lines of code within switch()
as one can do in most languages.
For example, I'd like to have switch execute a few lines of code based on the
value passed to it.
For example,
index = 1
switch(index,
command 1; command 2; command 3, #execute if index = 1
command 4; command 5; command 6, #execute if index = 2
command 7.... #execute if index = 3
)
However, if I try this syntax, I get an error about an unexpected ';'. I've
tried wrapping the commands in () but that doesn't help either.
Is there a way to do this without having to write separate functions for each
of the switch possibilities.
Thanks.
Mike
