I'm tryin to use regexp to replace multi-line c-style comments (like /* this /n */ ) with /n (newlines). I tried someting like re.sub('/\*(.*)/\*' , '/n' , file) but it doesn't work for multiple lines.
besides that I want to keep all newlines as they were in the original file, so I can still use the original linenumbers (I want to use linenumbers as a reference for later use.) I know that that will complicate things a bit more, so this is a bit less important. background: I'm trying to create a 'intelligent' source-code security analysis tool for c/c++ , python and php files, but filtering the comments seems to be the biggest problem. :( So, if you have an answer to this , please let me know how to do this! thanks in advance, - Alex _________________________________________________________________ Download de nieuwe Windows Live Messenger! http://get.live.com/messenger/overview -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
