Removing Comment Symbols

How the Function Works

• If a portion of text is selected — parentheses are removed only within the selected fragment.
• If no selection is made — the entire program code is processed.
• Only the outer comment symbols ( and ) are removed, without altering the content inside.
• Leading and trailing spaces are automatically trimmed.

Example

; Original code:
( N10 G00 X0 Y0 )
( N20 G01 X10 Y10 F100 )

; After removing comment symbols:
N10 G00 X0 Y0
N20 G01 X10 Y10 F100

Purpose

The function allows you to restore G-code lines that were previously commented out, without the need to manually remove the parentheses. This speeds up testing and makes it easier to return commented sections to active code.

Note

Only parentheses at the edges of the line are removed. If a comment is located in the middle of a line, it will remain unchanged.
