Assuming the following sample inline comment:
/*
function newMethodName (int bar, String s) {
int i = 123;
}
s/\<foo\s*(/newMethodName (/g
*/
How would I match and replace such that it would, essentially, become uncommented. I got this far before giving up.
:%s/\/\*\(\_.\)*\*\//\1/
Solution
:%s/\/\*\(\_.*\)\*\//\1/
Your capture group ( ) is capturing one character or newline. Put the following * inside so that \1 replacement gets the whole string rather than just the first character.
