Hi,

I use CVF 6.6 editor to write Fortran code and want to comment out (put
" ! or C " at the beginning of)  hundreds of lines. Is there an easy
way to do that? What I did so far is to put the comment signs line by
line; very tedious and time consuming. FYI, in MATLAB (6.0 or higher),
simply block the lines that need to be commented out and press CTRL+R
simultaneously. All the blocked lines will be commented out (with %
sign). 

Look forward to kind help.

I don't know the details of your editor, but in the editor
I normally use for Fortran codes (Microsoft Word, sigh) I
usually select the whole area and then do a global replace
of "carriage return" with "carriage return!".  Works like
magic, except I usually screw up the first or last line ;(.

There's a similar algorithm for uncommenting.

Why do u use MsWord for typing Fortran Code? I hope you don't uset CVF
for writing a document :o)

CVF = Compaq Visual Fortran. I heard they recently replaced it with
Intel.

Well what editor do you use ? - the answer to your question depends on that

I use the editor in Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6.

The following Kedit macro (command) allows one to highlight a
block of lines to be commented (with a leading !). Get Kedit
at: http://www.kedit.com/

Skip Knoble

if block.1() = 'NONE' then do
   'emsg COMMENT ERROR: You forgot to mark a block to be commented.'
   exit 1
   end
'preserve'
n = line.1()
'zone 1 1'
'all block'
'cinsert !'
'SET = cinsert !'
'repeat *'
'zone 1 *'

Hello, kis,

I'm afraid that I missed the CVF step -- have gone straight from DVF to 
IVF.  When you make the leap to IVF you will be able to comment blocks 
with <Cntl-K>+<Cntl-C> and uncomment them with <Cntl-K>+<Cntl-U>

Cheers,
Randy

I think the OP doesn't mean the editor but the C-style:
// this is one comment line

/* 
   these are 
   multiple 
   comment lines
*/
AFAIK FORTRAN has nothing like multiple comment lines ...

<home>
<cntl-shift>R
!
<left arrow>
<down arrow>
<cntl-shift>R

....this records a keystroke macro that puts a shriek at the start of the
current line, then moves down one line. Play it back with

<cntl><shift>P

Hold it down to get the keyboard to auto repeat, this will comment-out lines
at your keyboard repeat speed. If you go too far, undo with the * key on the
numeric keypad.

This is what conditional compilation, as specified in one of the esoteric parts 
of the Fortran standard, is explicilty designed to do -- amongst other things.

cheers,

if it is a large blcok, easiest way is to use the non-standard

!DEC$ IF (.FALSE.)
....
!DEC$ END IF

As max already pointed out, the fastest way is 

!DEC$IF (.FALSE.)
....
!DEC$ENDIF

however, this doesn't give you visual indication about the "comment", i.e.
the "commented" lines are not green. It's useful when performing "bisection"
debugging though.

You can also record a simple macro, like this one, and assign a key
combination (e.g. Ctrl+!) to it:

Sub PasteColumn()
   ActiveDocument.Selection.Paste
   ActiveDocument.Selection.CharLeft
   ActiveDocument.Selection.LineDown
End Sub

usage: copy one character to clipboard, place the cursor where you
want to put it (e.g. column 1), and hold Ctrl+!. You get a column
filled with that character.

Doesn't the editor in the IDE have a block command?

I use IBM Personal Editor.  If I need to C out a bunch of lines, I
just mark the first column (using alt-B), then fill (alt-F) with C.
My colleagues who use CVF's IDE tell me that its editor has the same
capability, although the commands would be different.

PS - I son't think PE itself is available any more, but there is a
very nice 32 bit clone called PE32 that's available at a modest cost.

I just add a plugin tool to the CVF IDE.  When the VS editor can't do 
something  I need, I just switch instantly to my plugin editor (kedit). 
  You can switch back and forth easily and VS will reload the file 
automatically when you exit the plugin (I believe that you do need to 
ensure that you save the file in VS before calling the plugin).

The IDE in question is Microsoft's Visual Studio. Clearly it's not to your
liking but it is to countless of  others, including your colleagues and
Intel, but then again who are you?: a little shit in a big corner, so eat

Hopefully, this outburst represents the last gasp before senility finally 
commits you to the cheap nursing home where you belong. Honestly, Gerry; stop 
pissing yourself in front of the world, it does you no favours. Just go off and 
enjoy your retirement somewhere else, the world has moved on and you no longer

To your demise and my delight, I'm in my prime and will continue to thwart
you and your ilk for eons to come. So whose this gerry guy you continually
allude to?, do you mean gary ? I's he/she a creation of your psychotic
state? Come, come, Mr Townsend, you've been skipping your meds again, eh!
Perhaps unlike this 'gerry' of your fantasy, this gary creature is
interested in meeting your voyeuristic come-ons to coffee in NY, London,
Paris, Toronto, (or god forbid, a Delaware latrine, truck stop, reserve, or
what?). No one in their right mind would fall for this ploy, and only an
idiot like you would  do so. You're a sicko in desperate need of help and
you ought to be reined in as a homeland security threat. You Richard Henry

For someone who claims to know the English language, you should be aware that 
this cliched use of 'ilk' is completely wrong.

Gerald F. Thomas, one-time resident of Toronto, CA, worked for Ontario Hydro I 
believe. Has a history of posting racist, homophobic, prurient, abusive, 
threatening screeds to comp.lang.fortran. Probably the newsgroups biggest kook, 
and almost certainly mentally ill. Posts under the pseudonym Hrundi V Bakshi 
(the name of a Peter Sellers character), but appears unable to properly forge 
his NNTP headers to make this sock-puppeting work. Also, his language style -- 
replete with gross delusions of eloquency -- is a dead giveaway. A wholly 
inadequate man who yaps, cur-like, at the heels of his betters.

There's a multitude of Gerald F. Thomas's in the GTA who worked for Ontario
Hydro (they make water or what?) and I'm not among them. Which one are you
referring to or do you want a class action suit against UDEL and you to
identify your slanderous remarks. We' (the united against UDEL and its
part-time employees GTA GFT's) are in, how about UDEL and you?

Yes, we've had about as much of you as one can stomach.

Whatever.

It's only slander if it's

a) not true.

and

b) directed against a real person.

Since you, Hrundi, are a Peter Sellers character -- and not a real person -- I 
cannot fall foul of (b). Since I can back up every single one of my accusations 
through reference to specific posts -- kindly archived by Google -- that were 
made by one Gerald F Thomas, I cannot fall foul of (a).

In fact, if there's been any slander, it lies with you; I can point to dozens of 
posts where you/Gerry have slandered myself and other, real people.

On a final note, all remarks I post to this forum are my opinion, and not those 
of my employer. I don't need any backup from UDel to stand by my own remarks.

I already have, thank you!

I am aware of at least three non-standard pre-processor command formats
(C, DEC, Salford).

Is there anything proposed, or implemented, in the standards ?

Part 3 of the Fortran standard defines a CoCo preprocessor.

It's optional, and usually not shipped with compilers.
Compilers comply with Part 1.

It has (Ctrl+Shift+F8 or Alt+Mouse), but AFAIK it has not a "fill"
command (at least, I didn't find it).

There isn't an option that I could find under Visual Studio 6 but .NET 2003
(and presumably 5) has it under Edit->Advanced->Comment Selection

Most Fortran compilers include a built-in compile flag for a C 
preprocessor. This allows you to comment out a large block with:
#if 0
....
#endif

For inserting actual Fortran comments, you could use gVim: highlight a 
block, then do :s/^/!/
which means substitute beginning-of-line with '!'. The beginning-of-line 
is zero-width, so it;s really an insert.

COCO is an 'official' preprocessor, an actual ISO standard. However, it 
never has caught on, probably because the C preprocessor (in traditional 
mode) was already very common. Also, the are several FPP's, which are 
just C preprocessors that are better at handling Fortran source.

There is also a Perl-based preprocessor, fpx3. It is overkill for most 
users, but can also do simple cpp-like code exclusions.

I am not familiar with that editor, but many (if not all) good
editors allow a regular expression search-and-replace in a
marked block.  So mark the block and add "!" to the start of
each line.

In my editor (which also accepts line commands), I would just
type

c/^/!/rm

To remove, mark the block and do the reverse.

Time spent learning an editor's advanced features is usually
time well spent.

I agree that it is handy in any language to be able to comment a
block, rather than line by line, but it is not generally
possible in Fortran.

Good luck.
