nextIndex = skipLineComments(string, startIndex);
Starts scanning of "string" at position "startIndex". First skips white space and scans afterwards a Modelica (C/C++) line comment, i.e., a sequence of characters that starts with "//" and ends with an end-of-line "\n" or with the end of the string. If end-of-line is reached, the function continues to skip white space and scanning of line comments until end-of-string is reached, or another token is detected.
If successful, the function returns nextIndex = index of character directly after the found line comment.
If not successful, on return nextIndex = startIndex.
function skipLineComments extends Modelica.Icons.Function; input String string; input Integer startIndex(min = 1) = 1; output Integer nextIndex; end skipLineComments;
