error: "extra switch pattern with no body"

[netux]

Hi ppl, search here in forum and over the net for the solution of my problem without sucess :/
here´s an example of the code i have:

Code: Select all

switch -- $s {
    "a" {
      switch -- $s1 {
        "a1" {....}
        "a2" {....}
      }
    }
    "b" {
      switch -- $s1 {
        "b1" {....}
        "b2" {....}
      }
    }
}

is it possible to have a switch inside a switch?
if not is there another way to do it?
tks

You mean nested switches?
Hmm... I am not sure

The only way to find out is to give it a test, I guess.
Although I think it should work, as all types of loops can be nested as well!

nested switches works
error: "extra switch pattern with no body" <- this error usually appears when you have a comment inside your switch

Code: Select all

#this works
switch  -- $s {
  {a} { 
     ....bla
     #comment
  }
}

#...while this will give you the error
switch  -- $s {
  #comment
  {a} { 
     ....bla
  }
}
