If a "/*" follows an even number of quotes, it starts a block comment. If it follows an odd number of quotes, it's embedded in a string. After a "/*" starts a block comment, then the next "*/" ends the comment. Right? Or do the angels see even more of the devil in the details? -- Dick _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
