Also consider there is more than one way to legally comment out lines of code. The author should choose and be consistent.
I used to have a routine in HCard that would find all the "on, function, --on , --function" handlers & "global" declaration lines in a stack script container and build a directory at the top of that script container for all stacksinuse. This way I could print the first page and have them documented. As you may recall, HCard had a 32K script container limit and the workaround was to do several 'stacksinuse' to build a working library. -- comment # comment /* ... block of comments on thisFunction val end thisFunction val on thisOther val end thisOther val */ If I were to do this on a consistent basis, I would copy each of my stacks into 'mysearchscript' folder, then use BBEdit file search and RegEx to Find All in that folder of stacks, then scan the search result, double clicking the hit line to go to that code. This works because the scripts in a stack are visible. What you do not get is what object has the code, and you do get a few false or ghost hits.
