comment several lines of code

[msx]

Is there a way to comment several lines of  code using / * xxxx  * / as in C language? If that can be added for me would be helpful.

At the moment, the only way is either manually adding // or highlighting a block and selecting Edit -> Toggle Block Comment

This is how you can fix an entire document:

On the menu bar at top of the IDE:
click "edit", and "select all", then click edit once more and click "replace"

A window will open for replacing words...
In the top edit box, type "/*"
In the bottom edit, type "//"
And finally click the button that says "Replace".

Your entire document will have all the "/*" entries replaced with "//"

Or you can highlight your block of text and use CTR+K. This acts as a toggle too.

Just make sure the top line that you comment out in the block isn't already commented out otherwise it screws up.

There is also this useful way: use the pre-processor.

?IFDEF TESTING_CONDITION // or silly name
  //Plenty of dodgy code
  // that you don't want.
?ENDIF

To enable the code, write at the very top:
?DEFINE TESTING_CONDITION

Like this it's easy to switch from old to new version of a snippet, and vice-versa:

?IFDEF NEWVERSION
   //new code here.
?ELSE
   //old code here
?ENDIF

CTRL+K I think it's better then /* and */ in C++ this it's really quick select a lof of lines and press the command...

Ah, so that's it. That has been annoying me. I still think adding /**/ would be a good idea though, for those of us working without the GLBasic IDE sometimes.
