first of all i didn't put Shp in the subject b/c it's not useful to me to change the Shp files. anyway, onto my point. I was (successfully) changing all my Wld/.../ etc files to Tagged (ala Ascii Pfiles) and I came upon one big question. i have a basic switch statement switch (*tag) { case 'A': if (!strcmp(tag, "Asomething")) do this; else if (!strcmp(tag, "A234")) do that; break; default : complain about unknown tag; break; } and then it would continue the loop. my question is this (with a small statement beforehand): Seeing as how it's not really feasible for me to put in 12-20 different else complain about unknown 'A'/'B' tag I was wondering if it was possible to do a simple goto default as the else ie in the above example after 'do that;' and before the 'break;' could i just add else { goto default; } to make it always log an error on an unfounded tag? this question arises mainly b/c if the tag started with an 'A' it would not complain if it wasn't found in the list. but if it started with a letter that WASN'T one of the case 'letter' statements ie case 'Q' it would complain. is this a good option? (considering default: is a label) or is there a better way? please make sure you've read the entire email before responding. Thanks for any help. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.
