Nested If Question

[Dthmtlgod]

Could someone please look at my code below, I am trying to nest a couple of
if statements together and it is not working. I think I am close.

if len(rsMove("Mon itorID1")) > 0 and len(rsMove("Mon itorID2")) > 0 then
response.write ("Dual Monitors")
else if len(rsMove("Mon itorID1")) > 1 and len(rsMove("Mon itorID2")) = 0 then
response.write ("Single Monitor")
else
response.write ("No Monitor")
end if

should be a single word: elseif

This would be nested:

if len(rsMove("Mon itorID1")) > 0 and len(rsMove("Mon itorID2")) > 0 then
response.write ("Dual Monitors")
else
if len(rsMove("Mon itorID1")) > 1 and len(rsMove("Mon itorID2")) = 0 then
response.write ("Single Monitor")
else
response.write ("No Monitor")
end if
end if

This version might make it more readable.

It uses the line continuation character: "_".

If Len(rsMove("Mon itorID1")) > 0 _
And Len(rsMove("Mon itorID2")) > 0 Then
Response.Write ("Dual Monitors")
Else
If Len(rsMove("Mon itorID1")) > 1 _
And Len(rsMove("Mon itorID2")) = 0 Then
Response.Write ("Single Monitor")
Else
Response.Write ("No Monitor")
End If
End If
(I like capitalizing the first letter of keywords.)

Talking about readability and errorproneness:

D1 = Len(rsMove("Mon itorID1"))
D2 = Len(rsMove("Mon itorID2"))

If D1 > 0 And D2 > 0 Then
r = "Dual Monitors"
ElseIf D1 > 1 And D2 = 0 Then
r = "Single Monitor"
Else
r = "No Monitor"
End If

Response.Write r

=============== =====

Then you immediately would see that
D1 > 1
most probably would need to be
D1 > 0

and that the case of
D1 = 0 And D2 > 0
would erroneously return "No Monitor"

=============== =====

so this would probably be best:

=============== =====

D1 = Len(rsMove("Mon itorID1"))
D2 = Len(rsMove("Mon itorID2"))

If D1 > 0 And D2 > 0 Then
r = "Dual Monitors"
ElseIf D1 > 0 Or D2 > 0 Then
r = "Single Monitor"
Else ' meaning: D1 = 0 And D2 = 0
r = "No Monitor"
End If

Response.Write r

Function GetMonitorCount (str1,str2)
GetMonitorCount = "No Monitor"
intL1 = Len(Trim(str1))
intL2 = intL1 + Len(Trim(str2))
If intL1 > 0 Then
GetMonitorCount = "Single Monitor"
If intL2 > intL1 Then
GetMonitorCount = "Dual Monitor"
End If
End If
End Function
