no_comments strips comments from various file types

Easy way to strip comments from various file types.

Description:

Comment stripping utility. Handles both inline comments and block comments. Strips C/C++ comments by default (both inline and block).

Usage:

• cat source_code_file | no_comments > out

Features:

• strip only inline comments / block comments
• configurable delimiters
• strip only comments at the beggining of the line
• preserve empty lines which contained comments before

Installation:

• easy_install no_comments or pip install no_comments
• run no_comments –help

Notes:

This utility is DUMB - as it’s not language specific it doesn’t understand the syntax (It will remove comments in strings, ignore nested comments or so).
