I remember that # is used for a single line comment.

After doing a search on comment, I saw that // appears to be how to do a comment on the same line as some actual code if placed after the actual code, am I understanding correctly? If not, I would appreciate any clarification someone can give me.

I seem to remember there is a way to do mark the beginning and end of a multi-line comment, is this correct? Is it /* to start and */ to end the multi-line comment? If not and if there is a way to make a comment you believe is going to span multiple lines, i would appreciate it if someone could tell me what the characters are for the beginning and end of the multi-line code.

Thanks

That is correct for Telix, dunno TWX.

EDIT:

Will not work for Qmodem or REXX (ZOC), although I think the /* followed by */ at the end of multiline comments works in ZOC.

Telix SALT is more or less C, which might be why a general search brought up what you found.

Thanks Kav, I was referring to TWX Proxy in particular. Sorry about not mentioning that specifically in the OP folks, my bad

iirc the # was the only way to put in a rem.
There was discussion about adding the // same line rem,
but i don't think it is active yet.

Hey Crosby, thanks for doing that test script you did in the other post, but it does appear that the in-line rem function is working, I did a test and this following code works, or at least i didn't get any error messages from it, although it is an extremely simple script. It did a sector display which was all of the code in the script, and as you can see I have a // rem on that line. I'm going to continue watching the other post, hopefully anyone with further info to add will weigh in there. Thanks

It is entirely possible that the newer version of twx that
works w/ windows 7 has the new in line rem function. I still
crawl along w/ windows XP.

If you got it to work, good on ya! I was just showing how
to test if it worked...



I'm watching too, I learn new stuff all the time...

Crosby you were thinking on your feet better than I was in this case, and from what I've seen in your past posts, you seem to be a better scripter than I But as you said in the last post, this seems to be like anything else in life, a good learning opportunity.

If the main reason you want this is because it's a pain to add the # manually to the beginning of each line, well if you are using Notepad++ and you have defined # as a Open line comment, you can toggle the comments on multiple selected lines using Ctrl+Q.
