Switch statement equivalent in Windows batch file

Question

I wonder if there is a simple way to branch execution in a Windows batch file depending on the value of one single expression. Something akin to switch/case blocks in C, C++

Answer 1

Compact form for short commands (no 'echo'):

IF "%ID%"=="0" ( ... & ... & ... ) ELSE ^
IF "%ID%"=="1" ( ... ) ELSE ^
IF "%ID%"=="2" ( ... ) ELSE ^
REM default case...

After ^ must be an immediate line end, no spaces.
