That is true, the only way to create a comment in tcl is by using the hash-character (#). Unless you feel like re-writing your tcl-library, don't expect to change this behaviour...

Don´t you think its bad that its only way to do it

You can´t make notes on same row before a code just after and onn a own row its insane. Considering there its a old language and shuld be away to do it. My opinion relly strange

Code: Select all

set b "huh" ; # comment
set c "exactly" ; # another comment

Putting comments before code is meant for compiled languages, tcl is interpreted. Therefore comments need to go "; #after" code, or on a line of their own. This simplifies the constructs the parser needs to recognize to see the item as a comment.

Hehe so the only way to do it is the way you show... Hoever im not so good in TCL you seems to be relly good.

; is to tells that its the end of code/line right so its batter to have

Code: Select all

1: set a [lindex 1] ; # Comment
2: set b [lindex 1] # Comment

Then the exampel 1 is batter then exampel 2 i guss

Nope, it's the way tcl works, and it works well enough for me...
And frankly, C is far older than tcl...

Honestly, I can't even see the problem with not being able to put comments in front of a line of code.. To me, that'd just make the whole piece of code harder to read, but then again, that's just my humble opinion..

I suppose you've got an issue with the way you comment code in bash-scripts too?
