[solved] RegEx for comments

How do I catch up the C# comments?

Code:

---

// This is a comment
/// This is a comment
/* This
  is
  a
  comment
*/

---

Code:

---

        $comments="/(\/\/.*\n)/";
        $string=preg_replace($comments,"<span style='color:#007700'>$1</span>",$string);

---

Didn't work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. :)

I would recommend you do it in two steps, once for the // and once for the /* */ comments.

Code:

---

cpp_comment = '|(//.*)\n|';
$string=preg_replace($cpp_comment,"<span style='color:#007700'>$1</span>\n",$string);
c_comment = '|(/\*.*\*/)|s';
$string=preg_replace($c_comment,"<span style='color:#007700'>$1</span>",$string);

Thank you CornedBee. :)

Don't forget to turn off the greediness:

PHP Code:

---

c_comment = '/(\\/\\*.*\\*\\/)/sU'; 


---

Ok. I'll remember that. :) Thank you again. Thank you.
