Case <text>
Description
Used within a Switch, this marks the beginning of what should be executed if the text matches what was given to Switch. You should not use quotes in a multiple-word case. The quotes for this command would be considered a part of the actual comparison, and would not match unless the switch expression had the same quotes!
Examples
Switch "${Crayon.Color}"
{
case Red
echo "You picked the Red crayon"
break
case Yellow
echo "You picked the Yellow crayon"
break
case Burnt Sienna
echo "You picked the Burnt Sienna crayon"
break
Default
echo "Please pick Red, Yellow, or Burnt Sienna"
break
}
EndSwitch
This example shows the use of fall through (i.e not putting a break statement after each case statement)
Switch "${DayOfTheWeek}"
{
case Monday
case Tuesday
case Wednesday
case Thursday
case Friday
echo "Its a weekday"
break
case Saturday
case Sunday
echo "Its the weekend"
break
Default
echo "${DayOfTheWeek} isnt a day I know how to deal with"
break
}
EndSwitch
