"Select Case" with VBScript

mhookem · #1 (**permalink**) 06-28-2007, 08:50 AM

Hello, I've got a problem getting some VBScript to work. Can anyone point me in the right direction and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Here is the code:

<body>
<%
Dim myNum
myNum=5
Select Case Number
Case 2
Response.Write("Two")
Case 3
Response.Write("Three")
Case 5
Response.Write("Five")
Else Case
Response.Write("No Number")
End Select
%>
</body>

I keep getting the error message 'An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator'

Thanks

Martin

vb script is not a language i am familiar with, but this has the setup of a switch statement of other languages, there is usually a break command at the end of each case to prevent incorrect output.

Hello William, I've tried it but still no joy, I've even copy and pasted the code from several different sources.
Is there a possibility that it has something to do with my settings?

I've been practicing using IIS 7.0, and I've created cookies, Sessions and all sorts, but this just doesn't want to work!!

Regards

Martin

well first off I would say Number is not declared. If you wish to case on myNum then you should have

Select Case myNum
Case 2
do stuff
Case 3
do diff stuff
end select

VBscript does not have a break statement.

I do not think the OP will bother with your reply, he/she was last seen in this thread on the 28th June 2007.
