XYplorer Beta Club

Bug: <<< (can be more <) inside a multiline comment /* ... */ (if I see it correct at least from the 2nd line on) will be misinterpreted.
//§ Script
"XYinit"
/*
<<<*/
setting 'BackgroundFileOps', 0; // all fileops are serial!
// xxx
Run this, as it is. Strange!
Delete the last line: there seems to be another error.
Restore the last line, but delete (at least) one of the '<' all is fine!

I sometimes frame some lines I want to comment for a test by
/* >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
lkdjhf lkdsjfh
lkj hgju qwe
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< */
that seems to "destroy" the complete script.
Bad if you made some more changes: you search for anything - but not for this!

Confirmed. Should be fixed in next beta.

Cannot confirm

Test with 0520 & 0521 shows the same problem as before.

Here's a better "form" of test-code. (Was too late last time?)
" " in front of /* and/or <<< don't make a change.

Well, something went wrong on the beta that fixed this bug. I'm receiving:

Dubious syntax: Determine XY location if($loc == "T")

for a script line that's commented as follows:

Both issues should be fixed in next beta.

Thanks Don. All the scripts I had issues with last night are running fine now.

OK - now I've tested it with success

Just thought I'd mention one scenario that used to work, and now doesn't, it seems the parser just got stricter, technically I guess maybe it shouldn't have used to work anyway, but did.

I'm not sure if PHP allows nested block comments (which I would find weird), but I think the parser is right to treat it as it does now (the red parts are the block comment):

"s0" e 0;
/*
"s2" e 2; // comment /* comment2 */
*/

Yeah as I said I was suprised it used to work, I was just noting the change.

In short: (I think) you're right.
No nested comments!
