Comments
Using comments in your Vocola command files can help you or somebody else understand the sometimes-cryptic
keystroke sequences. Vocola supports both "end-of-line" comments and "open/close" comments.
End-of-line 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
|
Open/close comments use the syntax #|...|#. One
use of this comment syntax is "commenting out" a group of commands. For example:
#| see vars.vch
<n> := 1..99;
<direction> := Left | Right | Up | Down;
<left_right> := Left | Right;
<start_end> := (Start={Home} | End={End});
