Talk:Strip block comments: Difference between revisions
→Badly defined task
Line 54:
::: Sure you can, and you can do so without any knowledge of string syntax. Though this task does not do that. For example, you can specify that comments extend to the end of the line and that on any line with a comment, the comment is the shortest string that matches the comment pattern. This mechanism would be similar to the concept of escape characters. It also bears resemblance to most any comment syntax which does not allow for nested comments. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 11:25, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
:::: You lost me. So you can just strip from # to end of line in the example <code>print("# not comment")</code>? --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 19:38, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
::::: That would be syntactically invalid. But you could fix it: <code>print("# not comment")#</code> --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 19:58, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
