Need help

[nitinmukesh123]

Hi I have code comments in a file as shown in below format.

/* ---------
sdl;f jkdf;kl gkdsf g
df df gfdg dfg fd
g fdgdfg * cfv df gd

*/

I need help in creating regex to remove everything in between /* */ including /* */

I tried

/\*.*$\n

But after this I am unable to rpoceed. Any help is appreciated.

Unfortunately, TextPad's aged regular expression engine is incapable of matching text containing an arbitrary number of newlines.

But you can do it with WildEdit (http://www.textpad.com/products/wildedit/), which uses a far more powerful regular expression engine:

Find what: /\*.*\*/
Replace with: [nothing]

[X] Regular expression

Options
[ ] '.' does not match a newline character [i.e., not selected]
