I wonder if there is a way to comment some "items" (e.g. $selected$, $clipboard$, etc.) in snippets.
For example, I need to create such snippet that dose the following things:
1. It enclose the selected text with some text
2. It comment out the selected text by prepending // at the beginning of each lines
So it would be nice if VA provide the special tag like $selected_commentout$, $clipboard_commentout$, etc.
Regards,
Kenny |

What about to use /*$selected$*/ and /*$clipboard$*/ ?
Also, you can use our "Surround with" snippets available from the context menu. There is a snippet which can comment out your selection putting // before each line.
Hope this helps. |

1. /*$selected$*/ won't work when there is already /**/ inside the selection.
2. There is a tricky way though:
#ifdef 0
$selected$
#endif
But I want the selected "looks like commented out", so this is not the best solution.
2. I know "surround with" and pressing / can comment out selected lines, but what I want is to create my own snippet which will not only comment out them but also prepend & append some text surround them.
For example, I want to comment out the selected text, then I need to put some comment the beginning, like "01/01/2010 Moved to abc.cpp by Kenny".
So the snippet is supposed to be:
// $MONTH_02$/$DAY_02$/$YEAR$ Moved to abc.cpp by Kenny
$selected_commentout$ |

Are you aware that "surround with" snippets are only accessible through the context menu? (unless you overwrite the snippet for shift+#) So commenting out the block then writing a comment using the //- may me easier. Also, you would need to change the snippet frequently to keep your message actual.
What do you think? |
