Html comments removing...

Hi Everyone, After a Long Time..Eh..

I have a coldfusion file that contains html (!--HTML Comments--> and coldfusion comments<!---CFML Comments--->

I need to find all the comment blocks and remove it. Is it possible to do this in VB. A program that takes the filename a parameter and removes all the comments inside the file.

Please do help me immdly as i have to convert this into ocx file and convert into a component and use it in coldfusion custom tags for getting my project work.

Thanx for any help..

(BTW How are you Serge....)

Try this:

Code:

---

Dim hFile As Long
Dim sFileName As String
Dim sContents As String
Dim sLine As String
Dim I As Integer
Dim iTemp As Integer
'Store the filename in sFileName

hFile = FreeFile
Open sFileName For Input As hFile
    Do While Not EOF(hFile)
        Line Input #hFile, sLine
        sContents = sContents & sLine & vbCrLf
    Loop
Close hFile

Do
    DoEvents
    I = InStr(1, sContents, "<!--")
    If I = 0 Then Exit Do
    iTemp = InStr(I, sContents, "-->")
    If iTemp = 0 Then Exit Do
    sContents = Left(sContents, I - 1) & Right(sContents, Len(sContents) - (iTemp + 2))
Loop

hFile = FreeFile
Open sFileName For Output As hFile
    Print #hFile, sContents
Close hFile
