Switch <text>
Description
Executes one of many conditional branches, depending on the value of the switch. Cases are checked for equality (case insensitive). The first case to match exactly will be executed. If no explicitly defined cases match, the Default, if any, will be executed. EndSwitch must be used to end the switch.
Examples
Switch ${Fruit.Color}
{
case Red
echo Is the fruit a strawberry?
break
case Blue
echo Is the fruit a blueberry?
break
case Yellow
echo Is the fruit a banana?
break
Default
echo I don't know what kind of fruit might be ${Fruit.Color}!
break
}
EndSwitch
