[comp.lang.c] Wanted program to strip out "C" comments

skumar@cbnewsh.ATT.COM (swaminathan.ravikumar) (01/18/90)

Is there any public domain software (c program, awk script) to
output just the source code comments both inline, and block?

inline:
	i += 1; /* increment i */
block:
	/*
	 * This is a block comment
	 */
Thanks.

yep. i have two programs i wrote in lex: one strips out all of the comments
of a C program leaving only the program, and the other strips out the
program, leaving only the comments. e-mail if you want either/both.
