Re: [VuFind-Tech] Switch-case-statement with pregmatch?

[Katharina W. <wol...@fh...>]

Hello again,

I've googled a bit after clarifying the matter for myself by writing it up for
the list and found a switch-case-statement which I tried to adapt for my
purposes, but this won't work:

switch ($item->{'status'})
  case (preg_match('/In transit\/sublibrary(\; [0-9]+\/[0-9]+\/[0-9]+)/',
$item->{'status'}, $matches) ? true : false) :
                  $availability = false;
                  $status = translate('In transit to sublibrary');
                  $status = (string) $item->{'z30'}->{'z30-item-status'} . " " .
(string) $status;
                  break;

Can anyone help me find out where the bug in the statement lurks?
