umm, not trying to state the obvious but have you tried looking at the help files ? They have an example for pretty much every command, I know there is one for the CASE command.

/At least I have a positive attitude about my destructive habits/

Just to save you time here's the VB example.


Dim Number
Number = 8 ' Initialize variable.
Select Case Number ' Evaluate Number.
Case 1 To 5 ' Number between 1 and 5.
Debug.Print "Between 1 and 5"
' The following is the only Case clause that evaluates to True.
Case 6, 7, 8 ' Number between 6 and 8.
Debug.Print "Between 6 and 8"
Case Is > 8 And Number < 11 ' Number is 9 or 10.
Debug.Print "Greater than 8"
Case Else ' Other values.
Debug.Print "Not between 1 and 10"

End Select

Anyone know of a good visual basic site?
I'm taking a class in it right now. I'm on reading a file fixing the words and making it all initial caps for every word and deleting non chars. Having a little trouble.

Hi:

If you plan to use VB for a longer period of time I'd recommend a book. For instance "Mastering VB" - Sybex.
I've been using it for two years...

The case statement is a test condition that is the opposit of the if statement.
Lets say we have a text box on a form named txtName.Text
and you wanted to test for a couple of numbers lets say 666 and 1790.
The syntax would be

Select Case txtName.Text

Case 666
msgbox"You have the my favorite number"

Case 1790
msgbox"You have the right number"

Case Else
msgbox"Sorry try again"
End Select

''-------------------------------------------
Select Case txtName.Text(the condition that will be tected)

Case 666
msgbox"You have the my favorite number"(If the text inside "txtName.Text" is = to 666 then the program will give you a message box that will tell you that 666 is my favorite number.)


Case 1790
msgbox"You have the right number"
If the value of txtName.Text =1790 then
then the program will give you a message box that will tell you that 1790 You have the right number)

If neither 1790 or 666 is entered the program will give
msgbox"Sorry try again"
End Select( ends the Case Statement)

Another example in VBScript tough:
users.pandora.be/caey/

look at the source, it is a multimedia sequencer and the selct case stuff is around the 1/3 of the page
