This program works like magic.. Thank u very much. But I have some conditions to check.
The description what i had given was just an overview of the script.
I have a list of methods. I need to comment the 
public void met1(String str1,
  String str2)

[download]
What i do is get all the methods from the list and comment only those method names.
So if "met1" is there in the list then only it shoud be commented
so for that only i was iterating through each line to see if that method in the list exist in the program.
if that method is there in that line then comment that line.
ur script works fine when i dont iterate through each line .
is there any way by which i can achieve the requirement.
