1. The search function should search in all include files as well (best would be a checkbox in the search dialog)

2. A block comment function like C

/* */

to make block comments.

This is due of the language design. Most Basics don't have block comments...

DUe to language design, most Basics don't have pointers.

Didn't stop PureBasic though!

This has been already requested before

Block comments would be nice to have.

EDIT:

Try Ctrl+B and Alt+B on a selected block of text.

I use them all the time

> Try Ctrl+B and Alt+B on a selected block of text

Which sucks to do when the block is more than a screen size long.

That would be a lot of comments. But no doubt there will be a time when you need that many.

Code: Select all

CompilerIf #False
  Hooo,

CompilerEndIf

I think someone is getting smart with us here...

Thanks for the tip!

BTW, shouldn't work this?:

Code: Select all

Macro REM
  CompilerIf #False
EndMacro
Macro EndREM
  CompilerEndIf
EndMacro

REM
  Hooo, 
  a 
  block 
  comment! 
EndREM

Bug

No, the CompilerIf processes it on COMPILE time, so what actually gets compiled in that case is:

Code: Select all

Macro REM
EndMacro

REM
  Hooo,
  a
  block
  comment!
EndREM

No, the REM macro is correctly expanded to "CompilerIf #False".

But then everything is ignored until a "CompilerEndIf" is reached (including macro resolving)
But the CompilerEndIf is never found as it is inside a macro that will not be expanded.

Not a bug. Just logical behavior.
