Hi Perl Monk,

I need to remove the C style comment which is like this below is the example for main.c 

/*This is the file which is used for the 
 developing the code for multiple IO operation
 Author : Grey*/
void main()
{
 int a, b;
 int d; //This is the temp copy buffer.
 a = 10;
 b = 11;//This is the temp value assigned to the variables
 c = a+b;
 d = c+1; /*I am copying this with a increment*/
 
}

Regards, -Prasad
