Is there any syntax for multi-line code block comment in Windows batch script? I knowREM and:: for line-by-line comment, but it is not efficient to comment a code block.
I'm looking for the block comment style like something below in PHP:
/*This is multi-linesblock comment*/

I think, this can serve the purpose
goto:skip1echo This line should not get executedformat c: & echo nor this line:skip1
Sign up to request clarification or add additional context in comments.

You may use this trick that looks better...
@echo offsetlocalset comment=goto endcommentecho This line is executed%comment%echo These linesecho are commented out...:endcommentecho The next line to execute%comment%You may place here %$#"#% anything you want.... &!>|<():endcommentecho End of example

There is no such thing in batch scripts.
(gotos excluded...)

Multiline comment without those nastygotos,rems and::
@break || ( 1 line 2 line 3 line 4 line 5 line ...)EDIT: As the previous example is not working, you can create a macro
set "[:=goto :]%%"set "[=rem/||(" & set "]=)"%[:% multiline comment%:]%(Not works in the for loop)

How is this supposed to work? What does @break normally do? (Also, this syntax didn't work for me in a batch file. It still executed the excluded lines)

@gamingexpert13 Sets or clears extended CTRL+C checking on MS-DOS systems. If used without parameters, break displays the existing setting value. If command extensions are enabled and running on the Windows platform, inserting the break command into a batch file enters a hard-coded breakpoint if being debugged by a debugger.
