Including comments in an evaluated NewScript()

What would be the easiest way to include comments in an script that is written when executed?

 

dt = CurrentDataTable();

mystring = "Hello world!";
mylist = {"A", "B", "C"};

Eval(EvalExpr(dt << NewScript( "test",

// This comment will not appear in the new script as it is inside the Eval(EvalExpr())

mystring = Expr(mystring);
mylist = Expr(mylist);

 )));

// JSL output
// mystring = "Hello world!";
// mylist = {"A", "B", "C"};

Re: Including comments in an evaluated NewScript()

Here is how I would do it

dt = CurrentDataTable();

mystring = "Hello world!";
mylist = {"A", "B", "C"};

Eval(EvalExpr(dt << NewScript( "test",

c = "// This comment will not appear in the new script as it is inside the"; Eval(EvalExpr())

mystring = Expr(mystring);
mylist = Expr(mylist);

 )));

c = "// JSL output";
c="// mystring = \!"Hello world!\!";";
c = "// mylist = {\!"A\!", \!"B\!", \!"C\!"};";

I was thinking to add print("") as they will document the steps in the log, at least.

The print will work too......but that is a pretty intensive statement and if it is inside a loop, etc. it can take a lot of processing time.
