Thanks for responding Sidney. I think if I set a var prior to the switch, it might not work because there are so many strings going into the switch. I'm trying to optimize this that would apply to only some of all the cases:
switch(str){ case ("W1") : case ("W2") : case ("W3") : break; case ("M1") : case ("M2") : case ("M3") : break; case ("K1") : case ("K2") : case ("K3") : break; } } ...into something shorter like this: switch(str){ case(/(W|M|K)\d/i): break; } > I think its better practice to define that regex in a variable and switch on that variable. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
