switch case construct

Hello !
I want to realise a switch-case equivalent.

For example while looping I read a variable from an ini file

ReadIniStr $LABEL .....
Each time $LABEL is differnt depending on my loop variable(counter)
Then I want to go to that label.
But a

goto $LABEL

does not make it.

How can I realise this ? What did I miss ?

thanks in advance

Have you checked out the 'LogicLib.nsh' included in NSIS. I think that it has a case function.

Try with something like this

#switch start
label_case_1:
StrCmp $LABEL "1" +1 label_case_2
#code for "1" here
goto label_endswitch
label_case_2:
StrCmp $LABEL "2" +1 label_case_3
#code for "2" here
goto label_endswitch
...
...
label_case_N:
StrCmp $LABEL "N" +1 label_default
#code for "N" here
goto label_endswitch
label_default:
#default code here
label_endswitch:
#switch end 
You only need to change the label's names if you want.

Thanks for LogicLib.nsh ! That is exactly what I need ! What a pity that it is hide in the example dir !
