I need to remove all JavaScript comments from a JavaScript source using the JavaScript RegExp object.
What I need is the pattern for the RegExp.
So far, I've found this:
compressed = compressed.replace(/\/\*.+?\*\/|\/\/.*(?=[\n\r])/g, '');
This pattern works OK for:
/* I'm a comment */
or for:
/*
* I'm a comment aswell
*/
But doesn't seem to work for the inline:
// I'm an inline comment
I'm not quite an expert for RegEx and it's patterns, so I need help.
Also, I' would like to have a RegEx pattern which would remove all those HTML-like comments.
<!-- HTML Comment //--> or <!-- HTML Comment -->
And also those conditional HTML comments, which can be found in various JavaScript sources.
Thanks.
try this,
(\/\*[\w\'\s\r\n\*]*\*\/)|(\/\/[\w\s\']*)|(\<![\-\-\s\w\>\/]*\>)
should work :)
