I have this structure

PHP Code:

const numberofcolor = 7
new const linecolors[numberofcolor][] = {
    "White",
    "Green",
    "Blue",
    "White",
    "Red",
    "Black",
    "Red"
}

switch(linecolors[1][]) {
    case "White":
    {
        write_byte(255) // R
        write_byte(255) // G
        write_byte(255) // B
    }
    case "Green":
    {
        write_byte(20) // R
        write_byte(190) // G
        write_byte(0) // B
    }
} 


how to compare the information in the array through the switch?

As far as I know you can't use chars with switches. You are pretty much creating a characters array and you would have to use strcmp.

Thank you! Solved, statement if with strcmp.

not chars, char arrays*.
better switch with first character ('W', 'R'...) rather than using strcmp

He has multiple colors starting with same first letter for example black and blue share same first letter. Switch won't work, unless the characters are changed to unique words. String compare is not a bad idea considering we got less than 10 comparisons.

Haven't seen all color names, string comparison & elseifs is not so good. My problem can be solved with that idea making first character unique, that should be one of the great solutions for this thread.
@anderpp u can optimize that code and make smaller:

const numberofcolor = 7 
new const linecolors[numberofcolor][] =
{ 
    {R,G,B},
    {R,G,B],
    etc...
} 

write_byte(linecolors[colorID][0]) // R 
write_byte(linecolors[colorID][1]) // G 
write_byte(linecolors[colorID][2]) // B

Comparing strings and using else if is not going to cause anything to explode. I don't see the point in over complicating things, especially if OP is a beginner.

If you don't use the "if" statment to compare your strings with more than one char, how you're going to compare them?

simple, not use them.
in amxx never used strings after plugin_cfg
