Single-Line Comments

RVL has two types of single-line comments.

One type is used to prevent a line of code from being executed.

Flow	Type	Object	Action	ParamName	ParamType	ParamValue
//	Action	Global	DoLaunch	cmdLine	string	calc.exe

The other type is for adding long, descriptive comments to your script.

A comment is displayed as long text provided that: 1. The Flow cell is set to # or //. 2. The comment text is entered entirely into the Type cell. 3. All other cells in the row after the Type cell are empty.

In this case, the comment is displayed across the entire row:
