It should first verify that the first character of a line is the [. Once that "section" anchor has been found, then do a name match for the rest of the name. That way, it would never find the commented out code. That code I have decided I don't care about anyway since the chances of ever making the original camview integrate with modern LCNC code are somewhere beyond point triple ought zip since no one cares but me. So I'll do anther restore, add a VERSION=0.99 string and nuke all the HALUI stuff since ATM its worthless and ancient history anyway. Maybe this evening as I'm presently standing in a puddle of sweat out in the shop where its 90F+ & 90% trying to make my G33-wrapper.ngc function as a universal tapered borer or tapper for both inside and outside turning/boring/threading either inside or out just by throwing a few logic switches at the top of the file, which tell it whether its boring or turning and if the numbers input are inch or mm's. I intend to bore & tap a 7/16" nut to a tapered, 27 tpi thread internally, then cut the same tapered threads on the outside of a piece of 1/2" A2 rod, then bore the end to about .371", Crosscut it about every 30 degrees so when the nut is tightened, the fingers made will be clamped down on the end of the ball screw with a might as well be welded grip. I did this for the X screw just like it in the toy lathe, 3 years or so ago now, and despite taking all the thrust the table can throw at it, no slippage in that time. Part of CNC'ing an 11x36 Sheldon I just bought. It will be the crossfeed drive extension to the front handle. ==============next subject================ I have another gotcha to report on the new merged code. When doing a ctrl+home as you fire it up, it is not first checking to see if all the shared limit switches are open, and if one of them is closed fuss and refuse to home. I inadvertently had the carriage sitting on the Z switch today, first time I had tried to do something with the Little Monster lathe, so it thought it had found the x switch and went marching inward to find the open point, which of course it never found, and I prevented it from folding up the brass covers over the back of the x screw like an empty pack of smokes for the umptyith time only because I was quick on the esc key. Once I had grokked that it was sitting pretty close to the chuck and tapped to the right a couple cm's to get off the z switch it was all cool. But the old code would throw a red star or something and tell you it couldn't do that when a shared switch was already closed. So that check and squawk/refusal needs to be put back in. And I am glad to see the mail server was rescued before scrfrg called the coroner. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
