RegEx can be expensive. Always ask "do I need one?"
In this case, use a string find to locate the // and the following \n (or whatever
marks the end of line on
your/supported OpSys), then substring or string replace.
If would be quite interesting to see a performance comparison on this - if you've got
time...

PS if you were working with alpha-text and had to consider upper and lower case, then
things might sound very
different!
