I have a Julia code that I want to put in somewhere else. The problem is that I need to remove all comments/unnecessary stuff from the code. How can I do this in Julia?
Example:
"""
example(hello::String, world::Int)::Nothing
Prints something.
"""
function example(hello::String, world::Int)::Nothing
# Hey!
println("$hello = $world"); # Print something
end
I want to open this file in Julia and remove all comments and save this new file:
function example(hello::String, world::Int)::Nothing
println("$hello = $world");
end
Or at least this (keeping inline comments is ok for me, as it would be hard to catch cases like print("#")):
function example(hello::String, world::Int)::Nothing
println("$hello = $world"); # Print something
end
For one-line comments, I can split the code by lines, and filter the lines that startswith # after strip(). But I have no idea about multi line comments.
