Conditional Statements
You can control the flow of your script with conditional
statements and looping statements.
Using conditional statements, you can write VBScript code
that makes decisions and repeats actions.
The following conditional statements are available in
VBScript:
If...Then...Else statement
Select Case statement

Making Decisions Using
If...Then...Else
The If...Then...Else statement is used to
evaluate whether a condition is True or
False and, depending on the result, to
specify one or more statements to run.
Usually the condition is an expression
that uses a comparison operator to
compare one value or variable with
another.
If...Then...Else statements can be
nested to as many levels as you need.

Making Decisions Using
If...Then...Else
To run only one statement when a condition is True, use the
single-line syntax for the If...Then...Else statement.
The following example shows the single-line syntax.
Notice that this example omits the Else keyword.
Dim myDate
myDate = #2/13/95#
If myDate < Now Then myDate = Now
To run more than one line of code, you must use the
multiple-line (or block) syntax.
If value = 0 Then
AlertLabel.ForeColor = vbRed
AlertLabel.Font.Bold = True
AlertLabel.Font.Italic = True
End If

Making Decisions Using
If...Then...Else
Running certain statements if a condition is true and Running
others if a condition is false
You can use an If...Then...Else statement to define two blocks of
executable statements:
one block to run if the condition is True, the other block to run if the
condition is False.
If value = 0 Then
AlertLabel.ForeColor = vbRed
AlertLabel.Font.Bold = True
AlertLabel.Font.Italic = True
Else
AlertLabel.Forecolor = vbBlack
AlertLabel.Font.Bold = False
AlertLabel.Font.Italic = False
End If

Making Decisions Using
If...Then...Else
Deciding Between Several Alternatives
A variation on the If...Then...Else statement allows you to
choose from several alternatives.
Adding ElseIf clauses expands the functionality of the
If...Then...Else statement so you can control program flow
based on different possibilities.
If value = 0
Then Message = “zero”
ElseIf value = 1 then
Message = “one”
ElseIf value = 2 then
Message = “two”
Else
Message = "Value out of range!"
End If

Making Decisions Using
If...Then...Else
You can add as many ElseIf clauses as you need to provide
alternative choices.
Extensive use of the ElseIf clauses often becomes
cumbersome.
A better way to choose between several
alternatives is the Select Case statement.

Select Case

Making Decisions with Select
Case
Executes one of several groups of statements, depending on
the value of an expression.
The Select Case structure provides an alternative to
If...Then...ElseIf for selectively executing one block of
statements from among multiple blocks of statements.
A Select Case statement provides capability similar to the
If...Then...Else statement, but it makes code more
efficient and readable.
Dani Vainstein
12
Making Decisions with Select
Case
A Select Case structure works with a single test expression
that is evaluated once, at the top of the structure.
The result of the expression is then compared with the
values for each Case in the structure.
If there is a match, the block of statements associated with
that Case is executed

Case "American Express"

Case Else

PromptAgain
End Select

Making Decisions with Select
Case
If testexpression matches any Case expressionlist
expression, the statements following that Case clause are
executed up to the next Case clause, or for the last clause,
up to End Select.
Control then passes to the statement following End Select.
If testexpression matches an expressionlist expression in
more than one Case clause, only the statements following
the first match are executed.
Dani Vainstein
15
Making Decisions with Select
Case
The Case Else clause is used to indicate the elsestatements
to be executed if no match is found between the
testexpression and an expressionlist in any of the other
Case selections.
Although not required, it is a good idea to have a Case Else
statement in your Select Case block to handle unforeseen
testexpression values.
Select Case statements can be nested. Each nested Select
Case statement must have a matching End Select
statement.

Lab 4.1
Write a small program:
Declare a constant PASSWORD
Declare two variables strPsw and Name.
If the password is OK, Wellcome the user in the reporter
(micPass)
Else , display a message in the Reporter (micFail)
Use the If…Then…Else Statement
Dani Vainstein

Lab 4.2
Write a small program:
Declare a variable iNumber
Display in the reporter the name of the number (“one”,
“two”)
If the number is not between 0 and 10 display a
message “out of range”
Use the select Case statement.
Dani Vainstein
19
Lab 4.3
Write a small program:
Declare a variable iNumber, bSign
Like in 4.2, but a number can be from -10 to 10
Display in words, the value of the number i.e. for -2
(Minus two), and for 4 (Plus Four)
Otherwise display a message out of range
Use if..then…End If statement once and Select Case
once.
