Hi,
I'm sure most of you have had this... is there an easy way to have a case
statement that's based on "strings" rather than ordinal types. Is there
somewhere a shortcut?
The only solution I can think of is defining constants with strings and
ordinal types...
What I'd like to do is:
case fruit of:
'apple' :
'pear' :
'banana':
'grape':
else
end;
So the only solution I can think of is
const fruitlist = (apple,pear,banana,grape);
fruitstrings = ('apple','pear','banana','grape');
and then...
for i := apple to grape do
if fruit {string} = fruitstrings[i] then fruitvar := i;
case fruitvar of
apple :
pear :
banana :
grape :
else
end;
Any easier solutions to trying to run a case on a "string"?
Regards,
-Reenen
