Converts nested if-else blocks into a switch (Select) statement or vice versa.
#Purpose
While refactoring your code, you sometimes need to convert a switch (Select) statement into nested if-else blocks or vice versa. This makes it easier for you to carry out the required changes. While such conversions usually require a lot of formatting work, Refactor! allows you to accomplish this with just a single click.
#Availability
Available from the context menu or via shortcuts:
- when the caret or edit cursor is on, an if statement that has a corresponding else block.
- when the caret or edit cursor is on, a switch (Select) statement.
#Example
int i = 10;
│switch (i)
{
case 1:
i++;
break;
case 2:
i--;
break;
default:
i = 10;
break;
}
│Select Case i
Case 1
i = i + 1
Case 2
i = i - 1
Case Else
i = 10
End Select
Result:
int i = 10;
│if (i == 1)
i++;
else
{
if (i == 2)
i--;
else
i = 10;
}
│If i = 1 Then
i = i + 1
Else
If i = 2 Then
i = i - 1
Else
i = 10
End If
End If
