From: Bill Murphy on 20 May 2010 09:26 Hi, i have an IF..THEN statment in a VBS script that uses the underscore as a continuation so that the conditions for the IF are on separate lines, for readability. eg: IF srvname = "A" or _ srvname = "B" or _ etc. question is: how long can this IF..THEN statement be? it is currently 42 lines. -- Thanks, Bill

I can't find anything in the Select Case or If...Then...Else documentation that answers the question. -- Crash "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." ~ Samuel Johnson ~

I wasn't looking for ways of cleaning up the script. sorry if i gave that idea. i am looking for the limit of how big an IF..THEN statement can be, espcecially when using the continuation syntax. -- Thanks, Bill "Mayayana" wrote: > Look up Select Case > > | > | question is: how long can this IF..THEN statement be? > | > | it is currently 42 lines. > | > > > . > |
