commenting lines in .hal

[DrStein99]

Am I allowed to comment lines by adding a # in front of them? I modified my file, and it seems to be erroring out when I load emc2; either I am blind or these comments are not being commented.

Short answer yes. What is the error message that you are getting?

Well it brings up some error box in the begin of the program load and has alot of debug into i had to trace thru and find the line that fails when it loads parport 0xec00.

I just copied the one that worked, added comments and it still works. so I modified that just to move the project along, its fixed now - but I swear the other file is good - I'll look at it again tomorrow maybe i've been looking at it too long and a typo is camoflauged or hiding or something.

Thanks for reply.

Most of the time the most useful part of the error message when trying to load EMC is at the end...

Well, I quickly found that out the first couple times. That big long document has alot of stuff in it. Just as a matter of instinct I checked the first part and then the end part and was lucky to find the line pointing to the part of the .hal I changed.
