SIOC 3.7 compile error if no text entered after //

[GaryC]

I have just noticed that if you put the two // for commenting your code and do not
put any text in after the // then you will get a syntax error when you compile, has anybody else noticed this. I am using SIOC 3.7 This happens on the IF and ELSE command but is not a problem on the Var command. This is the case with Notepad and ConTEXT Editor.

yes, just don't do that...

Hi Kiek

The reason I mentioned it is because the code template I supplied for ConTEXT editor inserts the // for you and its up to the user to put their comments after. If they don't then the code will not compile. Just something to be aware of when using the code template.

just don't use the conTEXT editor (i assume you are referring to the GUI interface of config_sioc.exe) .
Use a simple text editor, such as MS Windows NotePad to write your script and then compile with config_sioc.exe (Import TXT file and Save as .ssi file).

Hi there,

Yes even for me (a real SIOC Novice) Notepad seems to be the easiest and safe choice.

Hi Kiek

No I was not referring to the GUI interface of config_sioc.exe. I was referring to ConTEXT
editor (previouse post "An alternative to notepad for sioc" dated 07-04-10). As stated in
my original post this problem will also happen with notepad. I was simply just making
people aware that if you insert the // you must put some text after it otherwise your
program will not compile and I'm sure this was not the case in earlier versions of sioc.

do not use ...
With Notepad you do not have a template that forces a // so you have no problem at all.
