You could use the Select Case statement. The Select Case statement works like an If statement but makes code much easier to read :)

SQL

Select Case Console.ReadLine
    Case "hello"
        MsgBox("You typed hello")
    Case "world"
        MsgBox("You typed world")
    Case "test"
        MsgBox("You typed test")
    Case Else
        MsgBox("You typed something else!")
End Select

Obviously this code will need changing for your needs, but I hope this will help you. :) See here for more information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cy37t14y(VS.80).aspx[^]
