Hi All,   Here is a script I use quite often when coding and I want to temporarily comment out a chunk of C/C++ source code. Usage: Select the block of code you want to comment out (in visual mode) and invoke :call PComment(). This inputs #if 0 <code block> #endif You can also invoke it without the visual selection and it comments the current line. It will also remove an #if 0 block as follows: #if 0 <code block> #endif using the above example, place the cursor anywhere on the #if 0 line and invoke the function, voila code block is restored and the #if 0 and #endif are gone. Heres a more advance example, suppose you have the following: #if 0 <code block> #else <code block> #endif if you invoke the command on the #if 0 the #else it will automatically be converted to #if 0 and the code block above will be restored, like so: <code block> #if 0 <code block> #endif Also works with nested #if 0 #endif blocks: Suppose you have a large chunk of code that already has some #if 0 blocks.  No problem, select all you want including the nested comment blocks and invoke the function, when you want to remove the comment the proper #endif is matched and removed. Example: <code block1> #if 0 <code block2> #endif <code block3> <code block4> Select all up to code block3 and invoke the function, we get: #if 0 <code block1> #if 0 <code block2> #endif <code block3> #endif <code block4> Move to the first #if 0 and invoke the function, voila you should be back to square one again. Hope you all like it. Have fun.
