Just making sure we do not overlook anything: you are aware of the
other form of case, are you?

irb(main):001:0> case
irb(main):002:1* when 1 > 2 then puts "silly"
irb(main):003:1> when 1 > 20 then puts "extraordinary silly"
irb(main):004:1> when 1 > 0 then puts "that's just right"
irb(main):005:1> else
irb(main):006:1*   puts "now what?"
irb(main):007:1> end
that's just right
=> nil
irb(main):008:0>

Note, I am not saying that this would be more appropriate in your case
- just trying to take care of your chin. :-)

Kind regards

robert
