Commented softcode

This lets you send large amounts of data to the world in a single operation (eg. from a disk file). You might use this for sending attibutes to a MUSH or similar. Commented Softcode The purpose of this is to keep the (rather obscure) softcode commands in a text file with lots of comments in them. Then, in sending them to the MUSH the comments are stripped out. Basically, there are two different kinds of softcode formatting - #-commented and @@-commented, with slightly different rules. The basic part is you take a segment like &attrib Object= Bleh Bleh Bleh - You start with the first line and append all subsequent lines until you get a '-' in the first column. The different commenting styles are like this: # This is #-commenting # Comments are determined by having a '#' in the first column. &attrib Object= Bleh Bleh # This goes through as well - # not on first column Bleh @@ In this case, @@ comments go through - The other commenting style @@ This is @@-commenting @@ Basically, anything after @@ on a line is stripped MUSHclient determines which style to use by the first non-blank line of softcode. If the first line starts with "#" then hash-commenting is used, otherwise the "@@" commenting style is used. See Also ...
