It seems that both - my initial question and my answer to you were not precise. Let me try to provide better wording for my point. Your example shows comment statement which, as any other statement, requires ending semicolon. It cannot be terminated with end of line. On other hand C++-style single-line comments as well as comments in UNIX-style configuration files are terminated with end of line only. My point is that I never saw a comment expression which can be terminated with either one and I believe that the only example of such strange behaviour around is Quake-inherited parser of .cfg files.

Don't be thrown by the quotes - they're not required. If you want to get pedantic, let's go with ALGOL-60, and quote the commands instead: 'comment' anything after comment is a comment; 'integer' a, b; I knew you'd bristle at the answer, but I thought you'd have picked on the semi-colon. Oh well. -b On 6/12/06, Roman Hatsiev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Nice try, Bobby, but your example does not fit into my question since > comment here requires ending quote, in other words - special closing > tag I mentioned before.
