What symbol is used for a comment? During my learning curve I would like to comment out portions of the formula while testing. Using this example please post the comment symbol around a function.
 
 
Code: 
   
    
    
      
       | if(ph_getinsteonlevel ( "MBLIGHT" )=0,ph_setccobjtext ( "MASTERBEDROOM","ST1F","Light Off" ) + ph_setccobjgraphic ( "MASTERBEDROOM", "GB1N", "C:\Program  Files\powerhome\web\graphics\buttons\b1red-d_50.gif",""),ph_ setccobjgraphic ( "MASTERBEDROOM", "GB1N", "C:\Program Files\powerhome\web\graphics\buttons\b1green-d_50.gif" + ph_setccobjtext ( "MASTERBEDROOM","ST1N","Light On" ),"")) | 
       
       | 
    
    | 
 
 
 
 Thanks

I don't believe that there is one. If this is in a macro, you can make a Comment line, but that's about it.

How would I make a comment / remark so I wouldn't have to delete my existing information?
 Thanks

Tony was referring to a command line you would select in the line before the macro. As far as I know there is no way to comment a line within a macro.

A couple of different ways.  Within a macro, you of course have the "Comment" command.  You can also effectively comment out a line by placing a check in the "Skip" box.  From within a formula, you can use the comment tags /* and */.  You can also use // to comment out everything to the end of the line.  The formula below will demonstrate these last two methods:
 
 (5 + 10) /*Comment*/ / 3 //Another Comment
 
 The result of this if evaluated will be 5.
 
 HTH,

Wow. I bet that has been in there since the beginning, eh?

Damn, just like the old days…    Sure makes Formula building a lot easier. Beats Cutting parts out to find the culprit.
