select case statement 1

[Johnnie100]

I am using the select case statement and moved some code over from a VB app to an ASP class and the select case statement seems to operate differently - giving me a run time error for the statement below - can I code something similar in VBScript? I have looked on the net and in various books but all I can find is the very basic of examples that do not cover what I'm looking for!

I have coded;

Select Case Mid(Str, i, 1)
Case "a" To "z", "A" To "Z", "0" To "9", " "

Thanks

Ranges don't work. Try this neat trick I learned from Tarwn..

val = Mid(Str, i, 1)
SELECT CASE true
case (val >= &quot;a&quot; and val <= &quot;z&quot OR (val>= &quot;A&quot; and val <= &quot;Z&quot OR (val >= &quot;0&quot; and val <= &quot;9&quot or val = &quot; &quot;
