''select_max: <value1> | <value2> :: <command1> :: <command2> :: //<default>//''

''select_min: <value1> | <value2> :: <command1> :: <command2> :: //<default>//''

These commands allow for more sophisticated branching than the [[commands:command_syntax|bracket prefix to a single command]]. A command will be executed based on the largest/smallest value present.

**An arbitrary number of values can be used** - at least same number of commands must be supplied - or an extra command can be supplied as a default which will be run if none of the values can be parsed as a number.

  * **values** can be literal numbers or variables
  * **commands** are the commands that will be executed relating to the largest/smallest value
  * **default** is an optional command that will be executed if none of the values given can be parsed as a number
