Title: comment blocks (wish list?)
Post by: xra7en on January 19, 2019, 09:41:59 am
Now that is interesting, to this day, even in BATCH file - which I write a lot as well, I never use REM. It feels klunky and messy.
Now with that said (and since the topic is brought up), how hard would it be to add block comments

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. /*
  2.  * this is  a block
  3.  *
  4.  */
  5.  
or

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. /*
  2.  
  3. this is a block too
  4.  */

is it possible to do with  " ' "?

maybe
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. '*
  2. block of comments
  3. *'
  4.  

sometimes I want to write a lot of comments and each line of ', gets redundant

If it already exists, please correct and show me the way !!

One simple way is to use the precompiler to make a segment comments.

$IF BLOCKCOMMENT THEN
  Comment
  Comment
  Comment
$END IF

Well that's both clever and handy.

It can work with something as short as this, too...

$IF ' THEN
    sdfsfsdf
    sfdsfsfsf
    sdfsdfsdf
    sfsdfsdf
$END IF
