.mod folder for Case Select

[Baggey]

As in the title anybody know which module the Case Select is stored in.

Idea in BlitzmaxNG you cant

Code Select Expand

Case ( 1 .. 14 )

You Physically are forced to

Code Select Expand

Case 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14

Which is a ball acke.

I would like to modify it. Anybody have any ideas how i cam make this so?

It's not in any module. Case is a statement not a function and is part of the core language. If you want to change that, then you're going to have to modify the Blitz Code Compiler (bcc). So it's not just a simple fix.

After a quick look at what code is being emitted, looks like C. The the Select/Caste is converted into a very big if/then/elseif block. The regular case block (switch) in C/C++ only supports integer numbers.

as im Shite and finding things could you show the file as a .txt? so i can have a looksy, and have a play with it?

Sadly i haven't learnt how to get Discord directory's like Blitz Code Compiler (bcc) working. I dont know how to .make or whatever your supposed to do with it. If i knew that id like to have ago and altering the IDE and colours etc.. That would be a fun project 

I am very willing to have a try just need a bit of pointing to start with

Start with the parser.bmx file, and look for ParseSelectStmt.

What you need is a way where building bcc in debug mode will in it's self run some test code. In this way, up can follow whats going on with it.
