Range in a case clause

[agual]

I'm used to do in other basics (Quick Basic, FreeBasic, Powerbasic)

select case i
case 0 TO 20: ....
case 21 TO 30:....
case else
end select

VBS issues an error when it finds the first TO. What's the correct syntax?

agual,

I believe the Select case statement does a comparison,
and doesn't check conditions

I suggest using the IF.. Then.. Else statement

if 0 <i And i < 20 Then
	MsgBox "Between 0 and 20"
Elseif 20 <i And i < 30 Then
	MsgBox "Between 20 and 30"
Else
	MsgBox "integer = " & i
End if

Good luck...

PHV: You pointed me to the online version of the chm file i have. It says nothing about ranges, so i must suppose they are not possible in VBS.

K0b3: This is the solution i used....

Thanks all!
