Silly (ASP) Question....

Hi all

I am selecting things based on a string (i know - but it has to be a string)

Am i better having one huge select case statement (with many many more
entires than shown)

select case sTag
case "[[svr_page]]"
case "[[svr_browser]]"
case "[[user_name]]"
case "[[user_email]]"
end select

or would i be better splitting it up a little by reading off the text before
the underscore (eg 'svr' or 'user') and having a nested select case eg

select case sStartofTag
case "svr"
select case sRestofTag
case "page"
case "browser"
end select
case "user"
select case sRestofTag
case "name"
case "email"
end select
end select

its which will work best with a very large number of these '[[tag]]'
thingies i have to put in....

Rick
