Question

I have the following select case where I want to do some checks on what a string contains and call some functions for each case. But it seems that if multiple conditions are true it considers only the first condition. The problem is I have about 113 different cases.

Do I have to use an if statement for each case?

   Select Case True
          Case command.ToUpper.Contains(" S:")
'Do something
          Case command.ToUpper.Contains(" C:")
'Do something
          Case command.ToUpper.Contains(" *S")
'Do something
          Case command.ToUpper.Contains(" *C")
'Do something
          Case command.ToUpper.Contains(" CC")
'Do something
          Case command.ToUpper.Contains(" SS")
    End Select

That’s how select case is defined. Using a sequence of If statements would work.

Consider a table-driven solution (Pseudocode):

For Each pat In patterns
  If command contains pattern.pat
    perform pattern.action
