So i was wondering what the simplest way to handle 50 some commands would be. Say a user enters a command in a textfield and the code needs to handle each command separately. Is there something shorter than a if/else or case/break? Thanks.:smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

[image] bonner45: I see now that switch statements won’t work with strings(input from software is string type) so that one is out. The reference does not show String as an expression but it will work. switch / Reference / Processing.org Example with a String: String s = "B1"; //s = "A0";…

Thanks @glv.

It seems that a switch or if statement are the best options.

Thanks for the help.
