Hi All -
In the following code ,am trying to remove a multi line - comment that contains
"This is a test comment" for some reason the regex is not matching.. can anyone
provide inputs on why it is so?
import os
import sys
import re
import fnmatch
def find_and_remove(haystack, needle):
pattern = re.compile(r'/\*.*?'+ needle + '.*?\*/', re.DOTALL)
return re.sub(pattern, "", haystack)
for path,dirs,files in os.walk(sys.argv[1]):
for fname in files:
for pat in ['*.cpp','*.c','*.h','*.txt']:
if fnmatch.fnmatch(fname,pat):
fullname = os.path.join(path,fname)
# put all the text into f and read and replace...
f = open(fullname).read()
result = find_and_remove(f, r"This is a test comment")
print result
