you must have understood me somehow.
If the tag doesn't match any of the arguments it DOES NOT go to default
switch (*tag) {
case 'A': do this; break;
case 'B': do that; break;
default : complain about bad tag; break;
} // End switch
it checks to see if the FIRST LETTER of tag (*tag) is a 'A'
if it is, it goes through and checks tag to some of the available tags
via strcmp(). if it doesn't match any of them, it hits the
'break;' statement, and bails out of the switch()
it never makes a log b/c of that reason.
and that's what I was asking.
lemme rephrase it then.
is it possible to use a goto default; statement as an ELSE option in that
if (!strcmp(tag, "Asomethin'))
else goto default;
break;
or should i completely drop all the break statements, and
wait for ALL those strcmps to go through before the default case
log()'s the bad tag?
again, thanks for any help.
