I am trying to use this regex (JS):
/\/\*(.*)\*\//g
To replace
/*
sdandsads
*/
with nothing.
But it is not working! Why? o_O

the dot catches everything except newlines..( if the dotall is false )
so either use the dotall ( as mentioned in other answers/comments this is not supported in javascript, but i will leave it here for reference )
or add the whitespace chars
\sin your expressionsAlan mentioned in his comment a bad performance from the answer i gave so use the following instead.. ( which translates to everything whitespace and everything non whitespace, so everything.. )
