Editing deletion options

You can use the Deletion tab to specify rules for removing old autocomments from changed lines before new autocomments are inserted into these lines.

To edit the deletion options, complete the following steps:

1. In the dialog box (for the type of language profile that you want to edit), click the Deletion tab.
   
2. From the Start Column list, select the value that you want to specify as the first column to search for old autocomments.
   Tip: Any text that appears before this start column is not deleted.
3. In the End Column group, do one of the following:
   • To search for old autocomments in or before the start column, click the End Column radio button.
   • To restrict the deletion of old autocomments to a specified range, click the Column Number radio button, and then select the end column number from the list.
4. In the Delete Words with Prefixes group, complete the following steps:
   1. In the Add field, type a prefix string that you want to delete, and then click Add to add the prefix string to the list.
      For example, if you want to delete all old autocomments that contain the initials AKR, a date, and a comment delimiter of /*, then type /* AKR.
   2. To remove a prefix string from the list, click the string that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
5. Click Apply to save your selections in the Deletion tab.
