RE (tilly) 2: Multi Line c comments

I am a little scared, considering that this is a FAQ, how many people are getting it wrong.

This has a very common failure mode that looks like this:


  /*****************************************
   * Script Foo                            *
   * Written by "I like pretty comments"   *
   * The purpose of this is...             *
   * etc/and more...                       *
   ******************************************/

This fairly generic example (and common variations) will defeat most simplistic attempts at this problem. :-)

(See the FAQ for more.)

You are correct, my regexp was naive and wrong; and not remembering something in the faq is pretty inexcusable :-(	[reply]
