Mach2/3 post

Post by Jeff E. »

Minor issue - Mach 3 complains about nested comments and will refuse to run the the file for example - (blah blah (pocket)). Would be nice not to have edit this everyt time.

Hi Jeff,

Have just responded to your post in the other area so I guess you have answered the question about which post your are using :)

We have modified the Mach post now to remove the original filename from the comments as Mach gets confused by filenames with a () in. This will be updated in the 3.1 release but if you want an updated postprocesser sooner we can post it on the forum.

Regards

Brian

Hi Jeff, the thing that gets me about this is Mach3 gives a warning when it sees the nested comments. I've gotten other warnings about things before but none stopped me from running a file. All this makes me wonder if there isn't a bug in Mach3 or that the warning message is really an error message with the wrong text in it?
