In article <4041 at brazos.Rice.edu> moraes at cs.toronto.edu (Mark Moraes)
posted a (slow!) C comment remover I once wrote for fun in sed. Sed *is*
a good tool to remove C comments, but it's clearer (and faster!) to divide
the task into 3 parts, each having its own sed script. Furthermore there
was a small bug in the original script: it replaced each comment by *zero*
spaces instead of *one* space (easily fixed). Anyway, below are the 3
scripts, to be used as follows:
sed -f Cstrip.1.sed [file] | sed -f Cstrip.2.sed | sed -f Cstrip.3.sed
A still more twisted sample file is included.
