I'm trying to make a website for information like that :)
Basically, the site is there for programming tips for more than just case
statements, but (hopefully) will cover WMI, Perl, ASP, MsSQL, MySQL, PHP,
Batch Files, KIX, stuff like that - so the request for help is to populate
the website, not particularly answer that individual question.
But thanks! I'll update the article on the site.
Regards,
Jon Spriggs

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
