hello,

I've got some wishes:
- breaking $finddir/$findfile
- change $sound(type) (returns the sound-dir) to $sounddir
- Remove or fix /* */-Comments, there are really buggy
- /logdir and /sounddir to change the standard dirs

As an alternative to $sounddir, there is already $mp3dir, $wavedir and $mididir

You mean $sound(mp3)? Okay, forget the $sounddir-Identifer, $sound(type) is nice

just curious, what do you find so buggy about /* */ comment blocks?

alias test {
/* Comment Test */
echo -a $1-
}
produces bracket mis-matches
alias test {
return $1- /* test */
}
Returns $1- and the comment. This sucks

From the help file:


/* This is not a comment */
the /* needs to have a line of its own as does /*

From the mIRC helpfile:
/*
This is a comment
*/

From versions.txt:
84.Can now use /* and */ to comment out multiple lines in an alias,
popup, or script. Each must be used alone on a single line.



It's exactly the same with ";", you're not complaining about that.

Thank you both, i appreciate the helpfile plug >:P I was going to do the same thing, so you saved me the trouble.

Original Author:
As seen, they belong on their own line. The point of /* */'s is the ability to do a multi line comment. If you want something like /* Comment */, use ;'s.

Although the /* */ comment block *is* bugged, or at least inconsistent (since it's recommended to use /* and */ alone anyway):

/* this
will
*/ work.
