Hi
Is there a way to comment out a section in a .do file in modelsim? I can comment out a line using "#" but was wondering what is the syntax for commenting out a section (/*........ */ in C) ThanksLink Copied

What HDL? Verilog supports blocks using /* */, or line by line using //. VHDL uses -- for each line. Modelsim may let you select a bunch of text and insert --'s, but it's been awhile since I've used it.

This is for a .do file (not a vhdl or verilog file)

Use a condition that is always false
if {0} {
# code that never gets executed
}

Thanks Dave for your reply however its not quite what I wanted. I wanted to put in several lines of comments for instruction to me for when I open it again months later and have forgotten what I was doing :confused: . Its just a pain to manually add "#" to each line!

Just write the words, then use a good text editor with column edit to add in all the#- Mark as New

Yeah I guess. I just thought I was missing something and there was an easy way to do it. I guess not
