Comments in the ASCII file

Comments can be whole-lined or can be added at the end of a line.

In the case of whole-lined comments, at the beginning of the line the comment character “#” must be added followed by a space character.

If at the end of a line a comment is to be added, then in front of the comment, at least one space character must be there. If, however, in the line a string is defined, then the comment character “(“ must precede the comment.

Blank lines are also possible.

Example:

# ************************************************************************ 
# Data 
# ************************************************************************ 
# 
# Listing 
dummy[1] 1 Comment 
dummy[2] 1 # Comment 
dummy[3] 1 ( Comment 
dummy[4] 1 /* Comment 
... 
... 
example[0].name STRING_2 (Comment, here comment brackets necessary !)
