hi,
can anyone tell me how to bulk comment-out lines of code rather than
#'ing each line?
thanks

In short, use “=begin” and “=end”.
Kind regards

=begin

=end
I have to know, how does a New York Doll end up in the UK?

Komodo can do block commenting out, prepending “#”. Scite prepends
“##” so you know that is was done in bulk fashion. Your editor must
hvae something of the sort to block comment and uncomment.

Vim could, of course, do it via a substitution iterating over a number
of lines indicated by a prepended number. I’m sure EMACS (Esc Meta Alt
Ctrl Shift) could do something similar, but with four times as many keys
involved.
What, me biased? Never.
If you highlight the lines you want commented out in Textmate, then
press Command + /, it will prepend # to every line. It works quite
well. Plus, if you highlight and Command + / again, it’ll remove the
#s.
M.T.
With Ruby In Steel you just mark a block and click a button to comment
or
uncomment

But… but… that requires taking your hand off the keyboard!
Heresy!

Click a button? Isn’t that what most people try to avoid when editing
files?

M-x comment-region
Bind to every key you like (I don’t use it often).
C-u M-x comment-region (or M-x uncomment-region) will uncomment.

I knew there was an easier way, but M-; requires using transient-mark
mode (shudder). Well, not too bad in Emacs 22, C-SPC, C-SPC.

Sorry, my mind must have been warped by doing too much Smalltalk
programming
lately. You can, of course, use the keyboard: CTRL+E,C to comment,
CTRL+E, U
to uncomment, or you can define your own favourite keystrokes.

What do “comment-region” and “comment-dwim” mean in practical terms in
this case?
How many modes are there to emacs?

. . . and to “mark a block” in preparation for this, I gather you have
to use arrow keys and the Shift key, or take a hand off the keyboard.
Yes?

comment-region:
Comment or uncomment each line in the region.
With just C-u prefix arg, uncomment each line in region beg … end.
Numeric prefix arg means use arg comment characters.
If arg is negative, delete that many comment characters instead.
By default, comments start at the left margin, are terminated on each
line,
even for syntax in which newline does not end the comment and blank
lines
do not get comments. This can be changed with `comment-style’.
comment-dwim:
Call the comment command you want (Do What I Mean).
If the region is active and transient-mark-mode' is on, call comment-region’ (unless it only consists of comments, in which
case it calls uncomment-region'). Else, if the current line is empty, insert a comment and indent it. Else if a prefix arg is specified, call comment-kill’.
Else, call comment-indent'. You can configure comment-style’ to change the way regions are
commented.
How many modes are there to emacs?
492 matches for “-mode$” in buffer: Apropos

Thanks. That satisfies my curiosity.

Holy crap.
In vim you could put this in your .vimrc file:
map ,# :s/^/#/
mark the block you want to comment and then hit ,# (or whatever else you
want to map it to), and its done.
Cheers.
