hey folks, just a quick question. Is there a switch statement (replacing else/if) in applescript. If so what is the syntax?

thanks a bunch

Do you mean “switch” as in javascript? I think the most similar function is a simple if/end-if structure:

if dog is "black" then
     say "True"
else if dog is "pink" then
    say "Pig"
else
    say "Huh?"
end if

You can create more complex structures, but this will do the job most of times.

yeah, I was hoping for something like:

switch (choice)
   case 1:
      doFirst()
      break
   case 2:
      doSecond()
      break
   case 3:
      doThird()
      break
   default:
      doOther()
      break
end switch

for AS, but I guess that isn’t an option. It’s not a big thing, just a nice thing, I can deal w/ else/ifs. :slight_smile:

thanks

I am trying to create a script to paste text into a Golive document. Then I can quickly insert these text codes with speech. I can’t. Anyone with experience in scripting and golive that might sugges ta solution. Thanks
