switch - Evaluate one of several scripts, depending on a given value
<H3><A NAME="M3">SYNOPSIS</A></H3>

<B>switch </B>?<I>options</I>?<I> string </I>{<I>pattern body </I>?<I>pattern body </I>...?}<BR>
<H3><A NAME="M4">DESCRIPTION</A></H3>
The <B>switch</B> command matches its <I>string</I> argument against each of
the <I>pattern</I> arguments in order.
As soon as it finds a <I>pattern</I> that matches <I>string</I> it
evaluates the following <I>body</I> argument by passing it recursively
to the Tcl interpreter and returns the result of that evaluation.
If the last <I>pattern</I> argument is <B>default</B> then it matches
anything.
If no <I>pattern</I> argument
matches <I>string</I> and no default is given, then the <B>switch</B>
command returns an empty string.
<P>
If the initial arguments to <B>switch</B> start with <B>-</B> then
they are treated as options. The following options are
currently supported:
<P>
<DL>
<P><DT><A NAME="M5"><B>-exact</B></A><DD>
Use exact matching when comparing <I>string</I> to a pattern. This
is the default.
<P><DT><A NAME="M6"><B>-glob</B></A><DD>
When matching <I>string</I> to the patterns, use glob-style matching
(i.e. the same as implemented by the <B><A HREF="../TkCmd/string.htm">string match</A></B> command).
<P><DT><A NAME="M7"><B>-regexp</B></A><DD>
When matching <I>string</I> to the patterns, use regular
expression matching
(as described in the <B><A HREF="../TkCmd/re_syntax.htm">re_syntax</A></B> reference page).
<P><DT><A NAME="M8"><B>-&nbsp;-</B></A><DD>
Marks the end of options. The argument following this one will
be treated as <I>string</I> even if it starts with a <B>-</B>.
<P></DL>
<P>
Two syntaxes are provided for the <I>pattern</I> and <I>body</I> arguments.
The first uses a separate argument for each of the patterns and commands;
this form is convenient if substitutions are desired on some of the
patterns or commands.
The second form places all of the patterns and commands together into
a single argument; the argument must have proper list structure, with
the elements of the list being the patterns and commands.
The second form makes it easy to construct multi-line switch commands,
since the braces around the whole list make it unnecessary to include a
backslash at the end of each line.
Since the <I>pattern</I> arguments are in braces in the second form,
no command or variable substitutions are performed on them; this makes
the behavior of the second form different than the first form in some
cases.
<P>
If a <I>body</I> is specified as ``<B>-</B>'' it means that the <I>body</I>
for the next pattern should also be used as the body for this
pattern (if the next pattern also has a body of ``<B>-</B>''
then the body after that is used, and so on).
This feature makes it possible to share a single <I>body</I> among
several patterns.
<P>
Beware of how you place comments in <B>switch</B> commands. Comments
should only be placed <B>inside</B> the execution body of one of the
patterns, and not intermingled with the patterns.
<P>
Below are some examples of <B>switch</B> commands:
<PRE><B>switch abc a - b {format 1} abc {format 2} default {format 3}</B></PRE>
will return <B>2</B>,
<PRE><B>switch -regexp aaab {
^a.*b$ -
b {format 1}
a* {format 2}
default {format 3}
}</B></PRE>
will return <B>1</B>, and
<PRE><B>switch xyz {
a
-
b
{
# Correct Comment Placement
format 1
}
a*
{format 2}
default
{format 3}
}</B></PRE>
will return <B>3</B>.
