Question

I have several C programs that contain comment line at the beginning of each program. the lines begin with /* followed by the first line of comment, but the terminator line has */ as the only characters in the line. Can you please tell me a way to Remove these comments from all files?

Answer 1

find -name '*.c'

Use this to verify you’re working on the right files.

find -name '*.c' | xargs sed -i '0,/^*\/$/d'

This will delete up to and including the first line containing only the terminator.
