    Hi all and sorry for what is probably a very stupid question. I am trying to translate in Pascal a program written in BASIC and I am stuck with a statement for which I do not find any documentation: the statement is

    Select Case X
    Case 21, 24, 25, 27 To 32, 34, 35, 38
    etc.

    I know e.g. Case a To b, but I am puzzled by the multiple ranges which I do not know how to understand!

    Thanks in advance to whomever will reply

    P.S. For your info the full statement is
    Code:
    Select Case X
    Case 21, 24, 25, 27 To 32, 34, 35, 38
    temp = temp - 1
    Case 33, 36, 37, 39, 40
    temp = temp - 2
    End Select

    Code:
    Case 21, 24, 25, 27 To 32, 34, 35, 38
    it means when X is equial to 21, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 32, 34, 35, 38

    Case 21, 24, 25, (27 To 32), 34, 35, 38
