Block Comments in a Shell Script

Question

Is there a simple way to comment out a block of code in a shell script?

Answer 1

Another mode is: If your editor HAS NO BLOCK comment option,

1. Open a second instance of the editor (for example File=>New File...)
2. From THE PREVIOUS file you are working on, select ONLY THE PART YOU WANT COMMENT
3. Copy and paste it in the window of the new temporary file...
4. Open the Edit menu, select REPLACE and input as string to be replaced '\n'
5. input as replace string: '\n#'
6. press the button 'replace ALL'

DONE

it WORKS with ANY editor
