Comments

Using comments in your Vocola command files can help you or somebody else understand the sometimes-cryptic keystroke sequences.

Comments are specified by the # character, so anything on a line following a # character is ignored. Here is an example:

# Extract a file pathname from a Thunderbird mail message
Get File Name =
   {Ctrl+l} WaitForWindow(Compose) # Open a "forward" window
   {Enter_2}                       # Move to message body
   {Ctrl+f} WaitForWindow(Find)    # Open the "Find" panel
   :\{Enter}{Esc}                  # Search for ":\"
   {Left_3}{Shift+End}{Ctrl+c}     # Copy entire pathname
   {Alt+F4};                       # Close the window
