using env import to import textfiles

Hi all,
we currently try to remove some of our default environment and add this variables into textfiles which can be imported via
env import -t ${loadaddr} ${filesize}

One question to the textfiles. Should we add remarks to the environment variables inside the textfile in C-Syntax (/* bla */), first test shows that the import function works with this remarks . But whats the best way forward? Is this way ok or should we add into the directory where this scripts reside an additional README file where this variables are documented and remove the comments from the textfiles?

Regards
Holger Brunck

Dear Holger Brunck,

This is not supposed to work as you think it does - these comments will become part of the value of the respective environment variables.

At the moment, environment import does not support any kind of comments, it's all raw data only.

This could be changed, of course, if needed.

Hello,

Ok.

no and I don't think it is really needed. Importing only the environment and not throwing afterwards unneeded parts from the textfile away seems to be more efficient.

So we create an additional README file inside our scripts directory where this variables are documented. Thanks.
