if else on type of interger

[Simon]

Hi there

I know I should be able to do this, but I'm stuck!

I am trying to build a table that forms from cats being pulled from a DB.

The table will be 3 cols by x rows.

I have been doing an if else based on if int(Ident/3)= 1, 2, 3, 4 etc etc ,
but this is sloppy! :-(

What I need to get working is

<%

Code Snipped

if int(Ident/3)= [a whole number] then

%>
formatting A is done
<% else %>
formatting b is done
<%
end if

Code Snipped

%>

Thanks in advance

Si

Perhaps you are looking for the mod[ulus] operator, although it wouldn't be
much different from what you're doing now. What exactly isn't working for
you in the way you want it to?

If Ident Mod 3 Then
'formatting a
Else
'formatting b
End If

If Ident Mod 3 Then
'formatting a
Else
'formatting b
End If

That ought to be:

If Ident Mod 3 = 0 Then

Excellent, Thanks for that.

I worked around it by doing

if int(Ident/cellCount) - Ident/cellCount = 0 then

which worked, but .... now

RowBreak = Ident Mod cellCount

if RowBreak = 0 then

Works and is a lot cleaner

Thanks again.
