REM Line Remover!!!

[aetherfox]

Whitespace and comments don't increase the size of the final executable, and I think removing comments from a 2 gig source file is absolutely STUPID.

I try to comment my source and add as much whitespace as possible to make it neat and organized.

well, he is just exercising his coding skills by making a parser or whatever, not a bad thing at all, however i do agree that this perhaps isnt the BEST application for it...

Comment removers were useful in QB, where space in the IDE was limited and it could save a lot of "String space corrupt" errors. Or in QBasic, where you had a limit of 160K for source+ data.

In FB this kind of program has an use only as a source obfuscator, but in that case you could go beyond: substitute as many carry returns for colons, to make lines as long as the compiler can handle, without breaking the source, off course. I once tried..not so easy.

A more useful app would be a code beautifier...

:lol: I like making parsers,. Yeah, I knew when I got the idea,. "boy, this is usless",. but, I just wanted to do it anyway, for the heck of it... ^_^

I mostly do code parsers, HTML being one, or whatever else, or whatever other parser Ideas I get... I like 'em for some odd reason..

PS: It should work in QB too,.. :roll: ,.. minus the SLEEP 100 as I said b4... :lol:

Well, if you like making parsers and the like, why don't you make a code indenter for nested statements? That's something people would actually use.

Leaves ('$INCLUDE's alone and unharmed..

er... what about

'$DYNAMIC

or

'$STATIC
