- Often when debugging, I find myself adding output statements to code,
11
- for example alert statements to javascript code and System.out.println
12
- statements to java code. Then I discover I need to comment out the statements
13
- from some files, because they're cluttering up my console, or because I get tired
14
- of crawling through javascript alerts. Later, I might need to uncomment them again.

+ Sometimes when debugging, developers add output statements to code,
11
+ for example alert statements to javascript code or System.out.println
12
+ statements to java code. Then they discover need temporarily to comment out the statements

16
- So I wrote a straightforward ruby program to do what I needed, with support
17
- for java and javascript.
18
-
19
- When I decided to add JSP files to the mix, and had to hard code another set
20
- of constants and and case statements, I realized that this was a prime opportunity
21
- for ruby metaprogramming.
22
-
23
- As a result, Standard Out Toggler dynamically builds support for default file types
24
- from a config file in the lib/config directory and offers you the option
25
- to add additional types via a YAML file in the current directory.
16
+ The Standard Out Toggler gem solves this problem by automatically commenting
17
+ or uncommenting output lines from a command prompt.

127
85
  so if it contains metacharacters, they need to be escaped. Additionally, if any of the

  values use a character that means something special to the ruby interpreter, such as
129
87
  the hash sign, it must be put in quotation marks.
