Hi everyone,
The * symbol at the beginning of a line tells stata to skip that line. The // symbol allows you to add a comment after a line of code, that will nevertheless be processed by Stata. Unfortunately one cannot use anything else than * interactively. I think this is really inconvenient. Running a code interactively can make a debugging process way smoother. if one wants his code to be useable interactively, one has to use * to comment, which adds tons of lines and is an ugly way to comment. Hence my question :
Is there a way to force Stata to recognize, for example, //, as the same thing as * ?
Thank you !
