Ignore //!

Question

I have some scripts set to autorun when opened using //!  at the beginning of those scripts . I need to run a find and replace text to standardize all of the graph sizes inside of these files to be the same

(ex.  Size(526,247)>> Size(1900,800)  )

Since there are a bunch of graphs in a bunch of different files ( and I will continue creating new files) I was wondering if there is any way in a script to ignore the //! at the beginning of these files? That way I can open the file, search it, and replace the desired text, without running the script inside it...

I meant a way for a script to open a file (starting with //!) without actually running it. I found the workaround

Either:

open(C:\filepath\filename.jsl, Run JSL(0))

//this open method will actually open the file but ignore the the "//!" at the beginning of a jsl file

//OR

text_to_fix = Load Text File(filename.jsl)

text_to_fix = munger(text_to_fix,1,"Size(","FIXED IT" );

//then loop the munger to find and replace everything I need and save the fixed text over the old text

(sorry if that is all confusing...)

Press and hold the CNTL key while opening the file, and it will open without running the script.
