Adding the switch() statement to scripting.

One aspect that C and J coding has that LSL doesn't seem to have is the switch() statement. i.e...

switch (blah_in) 
{
   case "hello":
      blah_out = "Hi, how are you?";
      break;
   case "bye":
      blah_out = "Thanks for stopping by!";
      break;
   default:
      blah_out = "I'm sorry, I did not understand that";
}

Just working on some simple code, this statement would greatly help in creating some more flexible and simple programs that a large multi-tiered IF ELSE block would complicate. This would also be useful if the switch() statement only supported integers.

I would also like to see some way to store data within an object (for example, inside a text-file or other data file that could be contained in the objects inventory).

Thanks

i agree this would be useful. for one thing inside a control event. just a nice way to clean up code

Goodwill, theres llGetNotecardLine() so you could get data from a notecard in the objects inventory, but theres no way to write to it tho.
