Question regarding the switch function, and a thought

Post by alanwms »

Is it possible to use a string for the switch function?

Thought:
Such a simple idea, but it would be nice to incorporate either automatic or manual file backups.

If you mean the Switch command icon, then not exactly. That said, you can create a set of constants with appropriate names and unique integer values, and then use those throughout your project. These could then be used in a Switch statement and would be make the code a lot more readable and easy to understand.

As for your second point, there are automatic backup options in the Global Options screen.

Would the attached example work for you?
You can use single string chars for the switch function.
