For Mac users who edit do-files in BBEdit or Text Wrangler, here's
a simple
script to comment and uncomment lines in selected text. (Yes,
"uncomment" is
in the dictionary). Although the script can be slow, I find it
saves me
effort compared to inserting and deleting "/*" and "*/" before
and after a
text block. Text Wrangler users, substitute "Text Wrangler" in
the tell
statement. To use: open in BBEdit or TW, zap gremline, insert into
Script
Editor, save the script into the BBEdit Scripts folder, and assign
a menu
key combination.
