Hi,

I'm trying to re-write this piece of code. I've seen it done another way
which was much nicer (to my mind)

The code is

string t;
switch (Einhaft)
{
  case 0:
      t = " pt";
      break;
  case 1:
      t = " mm";
      break;
  case 2 :
      t = " pica";
      break;
}

Now, I'm trying to change this to be something like

t = ((" pt" && Einhaft == 0) || (" mm" && Einhaft == 1) ||
     (" pica" && Einhaft == 2));

A quick test and this will compile, but t doesn't contain what I would
have thought it would contain.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

TTFN

Paul
