CASE statement and CONTAINS

[steve]

Hello,

Is it possible to add a 'contains' clause to the 'case' command? I know I
can do this:

case variableName OF
"foo":
doThis()
end case

But I'm trying to do this:

case variableName CONTAINS
"foo":
doThis()
end case

which does not work...

Is there a way to make this work, without having to do an 'IF/THEN' command?

Lingo lets you reverse the clauses, like so:

case true of
variableName contains "foo":
doThis()
variableName contains "bar":
doThat()
end case
