If ... Then...Else

Repeat a block of statements.

Syntax 
      If condition Then [Statements] [Else Else-Statements]
or
      If condition Then
         [Statements]
      [ElseIf condition-n] Then
         [Statements]
      [Else]
         [Statements]
      End If

Key
   condition   An expression that evaluates to True or False

   Statements  Program code to be executed if condition is True

Case sensitivity - the VBScript IF statement will always do a Case-Sensitive comparison:
IF "New York" = "new york" THEN ... will evaluate as false.

To make a comparison Case-insensitive, you can use either the UCase() or LCase() functions:
IF UCase("New York") = UCase("new york") THEN ...

Examples

hournow = hour(Time())
If hournow > 12 Then WScript.Echo "Good Afternoon"


Dim strCountry
strCountry = "USA"

If strCountry = "USA" Then
   WScript.Echo "United States of America."
ElseIf strCountry = "CA" Then
   WScript.Echo "Canada."
Else
   WScript.Echo "Some other country."
End If
