Remove comments with ereg_replace

[tjibbe]

Hello,

I want to remove all the comments in a file with ereg_place

// comment

those two work well:

$string = ereg_replace("[\r\n]{1}", "", $string);

$string = ereg_replace("[\/]{2}", "", $string);

But combine those two doesn't work:

$string = ereg_replace("[\/]{2}.*[\r\n]{1}", "", $string);

What's wrong with my regular expression?

I hate regular expressions!

I have tried to learn them but man that stuff is tough. It seems as though you need the "|" or operator. I am not sure what you are trying to do if just delete the whole line or extract them

 $string = "//comment test\nok";
 $string = ereg_replace("[\/]{2}.*[a-zA-Z0-9][\r\n]{1}", "", $string);
 print $string;

That seems to work for me?
