Try this one:

B4X:

Select True
    Case sMsg.Contains("MyString")
         <DoSomethingHere>

sMsg is a string but sMsg.Contains("MyString") returns a boolean. That's the reason why it doesn't work.

Best regards.

Thanks for the quick response ... Logically it does make sense

I tried this with Select True, but it doesnt work...

CORRECTION : I think i have some other problems in my code for now ... will try this again and revert ( it should work) Sorry about the wrong post earlier

Apologies Klaus, works fine...
The "echo" from my server and the string i was trying to Match was different - hence it was failing (as i said - problem in my code)

Thank you!

Interesting usage of a Select Case. Sort of Turns it into a If/Else If Block which I would have suggested as the proper one to use, but this one appears to work better when methods are involved with less code and less compares. I wonder which way compiles and executes the best/faster?
