CFSWITCH

[alecken]

I know I can do <CFCASE value="1,2,3,4,5,6"> do something </cfcase>
But if I'm evaluation 2 variable values, Can I do :
<cfswitch expression="#variable1# , #variable2#">
<cfcase value="a">
do 1 + 1 = 2
</cfcase>
</cfswitch>

Instead of
<cfif #Variable1# IS "abcd" OR #Variable2# IS "xyz">>
do 1 + 1 =2
</cfic>

So basically if Variable1 IS "ABCD" OR Variable2 IS "xyz" do the same thing
I guess nothing is wrong with using cfif instead of cfswitch but in my
application there are too mane nested cfif already.

No.

But you could perhaps do some jiggery-pokery with the two values:

<cfset myChar="a"><!--- could be a-z --->
<cfset myDigit = 1><!--- could be 0-9 --->

<cfswitch expression="#myChar##myDigit#">
<cfcase value="a1"></cfcase>
<!--- ... --->
<cfcase value="e6"></cfcase>
<!--- etc --->

Or some variation on that notion.

Not a perfect technique, nor will it work for all situations, but it might
be possible in your one?

Alecken, something like that is possible. But not with cfswitch. You can make
the selection using cfcase's delimiters attribute. Here's an example to
illustrate.



<cfloop list="abcd,efg,kk,mn,xyz,oo,pqrs,hhh" index="listElement">

<cfswitch expression="#listElement#">
<cfcase value="abcd;xyz" delimiters=";">
case 1: <cfoutput>#listElement#</cfoutput><br>
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="kk|oo-hhh" delimiters="|-"><!--- two or more delimiters
possible--->
case 2: <cfoutput>#listElement#</cfoutput><br>
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="efg,mn,pqrs" delimiters=","><!--- comma is default delimiter
--->
case 3: <cfoutput>#listElement#</cfoutput><br>
</cfcase>
</cfswitch>

</cfloop>
