Post subject:  Error message: Case selector is out of range.
I'm getting this error from my code:

var ans1, data : string
var contactNum, menuNum, cont, stream, counter : int
contactNum := ContactCount + 1
var nums : string
var firstName, phoneNum, aptNum, lastName, address, city, province, country : array 1 .. contactNum of string
nums := "1234567890"

counter := 0

open : stream, "contacts.txt", get

if contactNum - 1 > 0 then

for i : 1 .. contactNum - 1

loop
exit when eof (stream)
get : stream, data : *

counter := counter + 1

case counter of
label 1 :
firstName (i) := data
label 2 :
lastName (i) := data
label 3 :
phoneNum (i) := data
label 4 :
address (i) := data
label 5 :
aptNum (i) := data
label 6 :
city (i) := data
label 7 :
province (i) := data
label 8 :
country (i) := data
label 9 :
end case

end loop
end for
end if

Help please? Thanks.

You didn't declare 'ContactCount'.

Well...that wasn't all my code :p just a snippet. And I did...I simply went through another means to complete the task I wanted to though...

Now to figure something else out.

It probably means it picked up data it didn't find a match to, in the case statement. Make a default, label :, then it should go away.
