Switch statement with cell arrays

[deaner00]

I want to use a switch statement with a cell array as the case expression. I know it can be used with few expressions like this:
switch lower(method)
case {'linear','bilinear'}
disp('Method is linear')

But I have a fairly lengthy switch statement where one case needs to look for numbers 4 through 100:
switch number
case {'4', '5', ...'99', '100'}.
disp('display something')

Does someone know how to make this work without writing out all 97 numbers?

Thanks for your help.

Can't you use an if statement.

if (i>=4) && (i=<100)
display('?')
else
break

Or somehting to that effect.

That do what you are looking for?

Thank you for the reply. An if wouldn't work though. I have a large switch statement with about 20 string case statements. I needed to add in one case statement that encompassed the numbers 3-100, and had to be in the same switch. I ended up figuring it out though. If anyone runs into this you,

First, define and convert your cell array in one for loop before the switch. (convert to a string in order to be used in switch statement):

for n=3:100
num{n}=num2str{n};
end

Then, in the case statement you input the complete cell array:

case num %no curly braces or parens
statement;
otherwise
statement; ...

Works fine.
