Is it possible to comment out a line in a macro in CCP, like in DOS or Linux?
Like just insert a particular character at the beginning of the line and the whole line is ignored.

Thanks in advance

As far as I know CCP is all WYSIWYG. You're not dealing with line items that can be commented out and there is no WYSIWYG option to disable a given item under a Macro, but not remove it. I'm sure someone will jump in here and correct me if I'm wrong.

You could create a dummy device with no real data in the object and then alias your commented out commands to it. It's not as simple as // but you can do it.

I'm trying to figure out why you would want to comment out a line. I mean, it's see easy to add a code or delay or anything else in the macro building, it seems like it would take longer to insert an ignore character. Sounds like sloppy programming.

I think you are right lowpro. This isn't a text based programming software like old school AMX or HTML or something.

If you wanted, you could always add an If/then statement and set the conditions so that commented out code would never fire. Seems more trouble than it is work. I guess pressing that pesky "X" delete button is tricky.

Thanks all for your suggestions. The reason I asked was my PVR is going for repair, could take up to 6 weeks. In the mean time I wanted to start over again when my new MX-780 arrives and thought it would be handy to comment out a line here and there. Indeed I can use a dummy device to do that as well.

Thanks again

Really?

Make changes, delete out dvr codes or just leave them in temp, the codes will fire but there is nothing to respond to the codes.
