I got an error running a very simple program, that sets delimit to ;
and then has some commentaries with it.
I can't figure out the reason for it, but I suspect that it happens on
the second occurence of the // comment.
The program is very simple
--------------------------------------
#delim ;
// this comment works, delimiter is set to;
di "Works fine";
// Second comment screwes up something. ;
di in red "Why do I get an error here ?";
-----------------------------------------
Yet, I get an error on the last line, and never get it excuted.
I wonder whats going on here ?
Initially I tried to see if I need to put semicolon on the end of *, /*
*/ or // comments, and would appericated any answer on that matter as
well. Thanks!
