I am using SELECT..CASE structure, after a number of CASE I get Not enough memory error. Is there a maximum number of CASE pieces? I use SELECT on a string variable for a command line editor.
Maybe better to switch back to IF-ELSEIF?
Thanks!

Maybe you need to rethink the way you are implementing the feature

I've only used 8 case statements. what's wrong with if x=1 then whatever else if whatever then whatever :else :end if. ie if instead of case and when condition met then end if.... or goto end :)

Hello, terekgabor
I made a small change in my test program. You can enter numbers between 1-64 but not over because then it will be Error: Not enough memory If U Run the program, you can see that 64 is OK but 65 is not...
> run input string? 45 45 input string? 60 60 input string? 64 64 input string? 65 [138] Case "65" Error : Not enough memory >
If you know about the limitation or the reason you can still use Select case... in your program. According to Peter, he will fix this in the next version...
