Javascript comment stripper
Here's some code I whipped up: Check it out: here
Also here is an example of my code you can test RIGHT NOW in a webpage
Here's one I didn't write that could be handy, though his code will fail on certain regex literals: http://james.padolsey.com/javascript/removing-comments-in-javascript/
EDIT: The code I wrote is as is. I am not updating it as it is something I wrote when I was a teenager and rather new to programming. If there is a bug, you can fix it.
Use Google's Closure Compiler with WHITE_SPACE_ONLY and PRETTY_PRINT -- the only thing that it will do is remove the comments (Unless of course you don't format your code in the way that PRETTY_PRINT does.)
It turns this:
// This function alerts a name
function hello(name) {
/**
* One lone
* multi-line
* comment
*/
alert('Hello, ' + name);
}
hello('New user');
Into this:
function hello(name) {
alert("Hello, " + name)
}
hello("New user");
