RE: switch on String?

["Clapham, Paul" <pclapham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Doesn't require "int", requires any Java primitive type (i.e. anything that
isn't an Object).  So String won't do, but char will...

switch(aChar)
{
  case 'X': blah; break;
  case 'Z': blahblah; break;
}

Subject: switch on String?


Is there an equivalent switch statment that can be used on a string?

Something like:

switch(string)
{
  case "X": blah; break;
  case "Z": blahblah; break;
}

Seems it requires int.  Javascript doesn't.  ;)
