switch.script

//
// This script is a very example of using `switch` and `case`.
//
// You can run this via the `evalfilter` command like so:
//
//    $ evalfilter run switch.script
//
// Once you do so you'll see the output, and the return-code displayed:
//
//    $ evalfilter run switch.script
//    I know you Steve - expression-match!
//    I know you Steven - literal-match!
//    I know you steve - regexp-match!
//    I don't know who you are steven
//    I don't know who you are bob
//    I don't know who you are test
//    Script gave result type:NULL value:null - which is 'false'.
//
// NOTE:  Only the FIRST matching case statement will run.
//

function test( name ) {

  switch( name ) {
    case "Ste" + "ve" {
	printf("I know you %s - expression-match!\n", name );
    }
    case "Steven" {

    }
    case /^steve$/ {

    }
    default {

//
// Now try a bunch of names
//
foreach name in [ "Steve", "Steven", "steve", "steven", "bob", "test" ] {
