Function: switch()

Evaluates a set of conditions in turn, and returns the associated result for the first match.

Syntax

switch([condition1, result1],[condition2, result2],[,...,[conditionN, resultN]],defaultResult)

ArgumentTypeDescription
conditionNBooleanThe condition to be checked .
resultNStringResult to be returned if condition is True.
defaultResultStringIf no condition results in True, this is the default result to be returned.

Examples

switch( [startsWith(in.cli, "01223"), "Cambridge"], [startsWith(in.cli, "01604"), "Northampton"], "Elsewhere" )

This example shows how attribute in.cli, holding a telephone number, can be compared to a number of start codes and resolved to a destination. If none of the codes are matched, "Elsewhere" is the default destination returned.

Returns "Cambridge" if in.cli = "01223456765".
