Declaration¶

function SkipComments(var p: PChar; EscapeSlash: Boolean; 
                     EscapeRepeat: Boolean) : Boolean;

Arguments¶

Name	Description
p	Pointer to null-terminated string containing a SQL statement.
EscapeSlash	Is a backslash an escape character.
EscapeRepeat	Are repeated quotes considered a single character.

Function result¶

True if a comment was skipped.

Description¶

SkipComments examines the null-terminated string in P and skips any SQL comment or string literal found at the start. It returns P the first non-comment or non-string literal position. The EscapeSlash parameter determines whether the backslash character (\) functions as an escape character (i.e. the following character is not considered a delimiter). EscapeRepeat must be set to True if the quote character is repeated to indicate itself.

The function returns True if a comment was found and skipped, False otherwise.

Errors¶

No checks are done on the validity of P.
