:: The phrase   ''lines beginning with a ...''   could be interpreted a few ways.   Does it mean that it is to start in column one of the record, and/or does it (or can it) have leading blanks before (say) the hash character?   If the former, than it could say   ''lines starting with (in column one) ...''   which would read better. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 03:00, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 
:: The phrase &nbsp; ''If a configuration option does not exist with the file'' &nbsp; is a bit vague. &nbsp; What does &nbsp; ''<big><big>a</big></big> &nbsp; configuration option'' &nbsp; mean? &nbsp; One (or any) of the aforementioned options mentioned earlier in the Rosetta Code tasks? &nbsp; Explicitly stating which options would be clearer and unambiguous. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 03:00, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 
:: If the author of the task wanted to have duplicate entries (as well as spurious duplicate semicolons) removed, there should be some examples of each in the input file (plus the addition of same wouldn't change the output file, even at this late date). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 03:00, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
