comment chars in INI files

[Barbie]

I expect that lines beginning with a token that is not known as a variable, are ignored when read from a INI file? So that I can for example use '#' or ';' in the beginning of a line to indicate (for me) that this line should be ignored?

Comment symbol for ini files is ";".
However UT not keep comments.
So if you want preserve comments in files which read and store, then make unknown property.
For example
___my_comment=text of comment
Such lines must be in some section.

isn't "//" at the beginning usually used for comments?

In some programming languages. Examples.

A line with contiguous trailing whitespace followed by a semicolon (;, ASCII 0x3E) indicates a comment. Some INI dialects furthermore allow use of the number sign (#, ASCII 0x23) to denote a comment, mirroring Unix shell comments

And I could have read this before posting...

The reason for my question
The entry with utmaster.epicgames.com is commented out:

[Engine.GameEngine]
UseNetMovingBrushTracker=true
CacheSizeMegs=4
UseSound=True
ServerActors=IpDrv.UdpBeacon
ServerActors=XServerQuery.XServerQuery

ServerActors=XServerQuery.XServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.oldunreal.com MasterServerPort=27900

but log file says it is used:

Oh ok ...because I have seen this in some U-scripts and thought that would be the way to comment.
