Not sure exactly what your question was - but was it whether you *can*
do the default option in select...case...endselect constructs in
vbscript / WSH, like you can in others (eg Kix)?
If so, there's always the case else thing in vbscript.

Case Statements are a simple and easy way to check what one variable is
doing. It's certainly a lot quicker than doing lots of If, ElseIf, Else
and End Ifs. Here's a quick rundown on how to use them in PHP and VB
Script.
In PHP you have a distinct advantage over VBScripters, in that there's
also a default value that you can select. You can also group together a
set of case statements.
Switch ($varname) {
Case "Option1":
echo "Option1";
break;
Case "Option2":
Case "Option3":
echo "Options 2 or 3";
break;
Case "Option4":
echo "Option 4";
Case "Option5":
echo "And option 5";
break;
Default:
echo "All other options";
}
-- Windows Scripting Host --
Select Case strVariable
Case "Value 1"
wscript.echo "Value 1"
Case "Value 2"
wscript.echo "Value 2"
End Select
And, hopefully, people will then add comments to this article with
things like "In perl you do it as follows:" or "It's wrong - WSH can
have a default value" (in which case, I'll learn things as well :) )
So... if you've got time to lend a hand, I'd be grateful. I'm adding
stuff in on the fly as I think of it, so if you've got anything to add,
then this site will become a great resource. Likewise, if you know any
sites that do something like this already, let me know and I'll talk to
them about sharing content. Cheers,
Jon Spriggs
