Just a little help with file reading...

[FragSax]

I'm working on the simplest possible scripting language and all I really want to know is how I could implement comments? In my head comments start with a '#' and I just want PureBasic's File function to ignore that line... How would I go about doing something like this?

[Ramihyn_]

Line by line parsing of an open text file. Skip execution of empty lines and lines starting with a '#'

Code: Select all

  While (Eof(fileID) = 0)
    Command$    = Trim(ReadString(FileID))
    First$  = Left(Command$, 1)

    If ((First$ <> "") And (First$ <> "#"))


    endif
  Wend

As long as you dont support multiple commands each line.

Very much appreciated...
