Thanks Kendall I'll check out those compressors
I tried the grep, but it matched the entire contents of the
file. There were only 2 lines left after it was done.
I'll try tweaking it a bit more.
One direct solution:
Find: (?s)\/\*.*\*\/\r
The (?s) lets the . match newlines.
Except that it matches from the first instance of "/*" all the
way to the last instance of "*/". It would appear to work fine
if there was only one /* ... */ enclosed comment in the text
you're searching.
The pattern needs to use "non-greedy" matching:
Find: (?s)\/\*.*?\*\/\r
The second question mark is part of the sub-expression ".*?".
This means "match zero or more of ANY character -- including
newlines, because of the (?s) invocation -- until the VERY NEXT
match of the next thing in the pattern", which is an escaped
asterisk "\*".
