what kind of comment , is it /*..*/ or is it "-- line comment" ?

Hi fajar i have many line comments "--"
the problem is that these comments are at the end of lines
I have no idea how to remove them

use Notepad++. Open the script and remove all lines that starts with --. Then manually remove the /* */ comments.

thank you but this method is not suitable because the comments are at the end of lines

hey

this is only quick script to remove comments on end of line when they start with --


ms = "C:\\test.ms"

linesArr = (dotnetClass "System.IO.File").ReadAllLines ms

for i = 1 to linesArr.count do if (a = findstring linesArr[i] "--") != undefined do linesArr[i] = substring linesArr[i] 1 (a - 1)

(dotnetClass "System.IO.File").WriteAllLines ms linesArr

but if double dash is in string rest of line will be removed too
to detect strings and comments with /* */ in script is more difficult

try if this simple answer works for you
