combine more than one switch case? Topic is solved

[xMaxrayx]

Hi, in if statment you can add logical || and && is a possible to do something similar with switch statement? I don't want re-write the same code or write outside function

Code: Select all

 case 1 && 2 :
 	msgbox
 

and if not can I make case 3 do the same thing with case 4 without copy-paste codde or writing a function?

Code: Select all

case 3: 
	Msgbox
case 4:
	do case 3

Each case may list up to 20 values. Each value must be an expression, but can be a simple one such as a literal number, quoted string or variable.

Any expression is fine.

I'm puzzled about why you want to ask this question instead of testing your idea in your script. The test requires about 45 seconds.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
Switch {
 Case 1 && 2:
  MsgBox
}

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance Force

var := "0x0003"
;  A.
switch (var)
{
    default:
    case 1:
    case 2:
    case 3,4:		msgbox var
}
;  B.
switch
{
    default:
    case (var==1):
    case (var==2):
    case (var==3||var==4):      msgbox var
}
;  C.
switch (var)
{
    case 1:
    case 2:
    default:
        switch
        {
            case (format("{:d}",var)~="D)^(3|4)$"):      msgbox var               
            default:
        }
}

sorry I didn't know you could use && , || expressions in switch cases because most examples are with IF statements,also I'm not that good.

a lot of old c# totrial they use
case1::
case 2::
case 3::
msgbox
break

so I thought there was something similar to AHK

    case 2:
    case 3,4:		msgbox var
}
;  B.
switch
{
    default:
    case (var==1):
    case (var==2):
    case (var==3||var==4):      msgbox var
}
;  C.
switch (var)
{
    case 1:
    case 2:
    default:
        switch
        {
            case (format("{:d}",var)~="D)^(3|4)$"):      msgbox var               
            default:
        }
}

I see many thanks so switch cases have a lot of power like with IF statement.
