    Hello All,

    I prefer using the semicolon for comments, rather than the apostrophe. Can anyone suggest how to make GCB@Syn respond to this for the syntax checking? I'd like to keep both semicolons and apostrophes, but have what follows either on a line show up in GCB@Syn as comments.

    Thanks,

    Thomas Henry

    Hi Thomas,

    I modified the lexer to recognize semicolon as comment. Replace the LexLib.LXL in folder ...\GCB@Syn\SynWrite\HL with the attached one and report if it works for you.

    Download

    This will be added to GCB@Syns next release.

    Regards
    Steini

    Thank you very much, Steini,

    It works like a charm! Both apostrophes and semicolons are recognized as comments now.

    Best wishes,

    Oops!

    Crippled the block-comment feature; fixed today. Please reload LexLib.LXL from link above.

    Thanks again, Steini,

    I was surprised to see there was a feature to block-comment in GCB@Syn. That's great.

    I wish that Great Cow Basic recognized #REM and #ENDREM directives too for block comments, so we wouldn't have to depend on the IDE to handle it.

    Hey, I really appreciate your hard work!

    Best wishes,

    Thomas Henry
