        var typearr = strarr[i].split('=');
        Log.Message(strarr[i]);
        switch (typearr[0]) {
        case 'type1':
          Log.Message("TYPE1: length = " + typearr[1].length);
          break;
        case 'type2':
          Log.Message("TYPE2: length = " + typearr[1].length);
          break;
        case 'type3':
          Log.Message("TYPE3: length = " + typearr[1].length);
          break;
        default:
          Log.Message("unrecognized type");
          break;
        }
      }
    }

    produces
