`CASE`

Execute command based on string match

Run the command paired with the first value that equals <what>. After <what> come <value> <command> pairs. Values must match exactly, including case. A value of * matches anything, so put it last as the default. The result is that of the command that ran, or success if none matched. Quote each command, and quote <what> if it can be empty.

Whether it is safe depends on the commands. See Scripting.
