For huge do-files, highlighting the relevant lines is not an option, but you
can have a main do-file, and call sub-do-files from there. This has the side
effect that it forces you to think about logical chunks of your problem that
could be allocated into one of those sub-do-files...

Betreff: st: the convenient way to exclude part of the do file from running

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is any more convenient way to exclude some
part of the do file from running in the process of writing and
revising a do file.

For example, I am working on a do file with 1000 lines of commands, in
which  I would like to exclude  the bottom 100 lines from running  and
checking.  I have not decided if I should permanently delete the 100
lines from this do file or not.

Currently what I deal with this is just using mouse to select the
parts that I want to check and run. When I have to run a couple of
times, this using-mouse-to-select becomes tedious. Another way is to
add * or /* before those excluded lines. I do not like this way since
when finally I want to include these commands, I have to delete those
symbols. Therefore, I would like to find if there is any better way to
exclude some part of the commands from running.

Thanks for your help!

Mandy
