Hi,

I am using an extracted netlist DSPF file and I need to comment a bunch of lines. I was wondering if there is a possibility to comment everything at once. I tried /* */ but it doesn't work and generates errors when I started the spectre simulation. Of course, I can always go and put * at the beginning of each and every line but that will be a lot of * and time needed to spend on this.

Use vi:

vim file.dspf
Esc:set nu
Esc:n1,n2s/^/*/

(n1 and n2 are line numbers - '*' will be added for all lines between n1 and n2; "s" means "substitute", ^ is beginning of line).

Do you know what the nedit macro will be for that purpose - adding * at the start of every line in a selection of lines?

"Simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible".

Apparently, whether a "thing" is simple or not, depends on the tool, and on the training/education background.

I understand there is a barrier in learning "vi", but once you overcome that barrier, many things become simple and efficient...
