Remove comments from file. Credit to Lambda's answer on Stack Overflow https://stackoverflow.com/a/2613945/5178499

remove_comment_regex.txt
Remove all block comments and line comments:
(/\*([^*]|[\r\n]|(\*+([^*/]|[\r\n])))*\*+/|[ \t]*//.*)
Remove block comments:
(/\*([^*]|[\r\n]|(\*+([^*/]|[\r\n])))*\*+/)
Remove line comments:
([ \t]*//.*)
However, I should warn that this works only %99.99 of time. You might have a string variable defined in your file like:
String myStr = "/** I am not a comment */";
This regex will turn this to:
String myStr = "";
