    Post Programming Language Comment Remover Beta

    Hi,

    This is a small project I made today it allows you to remove comments from C/C++ , Python and Basic.
    At the moment it only removes single comments, and I hope to add more features soon hope you find it useful.

    Code:
    // File stripc.c
    // By Ben
    // Date 14/06/2020
    // Info strips single line comments from C/C++ Python and Basic
    
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <ctype.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    #define MAX_LINE 2048
    
    enum TLANG{
        C=0,
        PY=1,
        BASIC = 2
    }Lang_Type;
    
    int IsComment(char *s){
        int x = 0;
        int y = 0;
        char temp[MAX_LINE];
    
        while(x < strlen(s)){
            //Skip first write spaces
            if(s[x] != ' ' && s[x] != '\t'){
                break;
            }
            x++;
        }
        //Copy from were the start white spaces were found to the end of the string
        while(x < strlen(s)){
            temp[y] = s[x];
            x++;
            y++;
        }
        //Zap temp
        temp[y] = '\0';
    
        if(strlen(temp) > 1){
            if(Lang_Type == C){
                //Check for single line comments
                if(temp[0] == '/' && temp[1] == '/'){
                    return 1;
                }
            }
            //Python
            if(Lang_Type == PY){
                //Check for single line comments
                if(temp[0] == '#'){
                    return 1;
                }
            }
            //Basic
            //Python
            if(Lang_Type == BASIC){
                //Check for single line comments
                if(temp[0] == '\''){
                    return 1;
                }
            }
        }
    
        memset(temp,0,sizeof temp);
        return 0;
    }

            printf("-B Basic");
            exit(0);
        }
        //Get language type.
        lang = toupper(argv[1][1]);
        //language C/C++

            exit(0);
        }
        //Open output file.
        fout = fopen(argv[3],"w");
        //Check output file was opened.
        if(!fout){
            printf("Error Cannot Open Output File: %s",argv[2]);
            fclose(fin);
            exit(0);
        }
    
        //While not end of source file read in a line
        while(fgets(lnBuffer,sizeof lnBuffer,fin) != NULL){
            //Get line length
            len = strlen(lnBuffer);
            //Zap line feeds
            if((lnBuffer[len-1] = '\r')){
                lnBuffer[len-1] = '\0';
            }
            //Check for comments.
            if(IsComment(lnBuffer) != 1){
                //Check length
                if(len > 0){
                    //Write line to output file
                    fputs(lnBuffer,fout);
                    //Write new line
                    fputs("\n",fout);
                }
            }
        }
        //Close input and output files.
        fclose(fout);
        fclose(fin);
        //Clear up
        memset(lnBuffer,0,sizeof lnBuffer);
        return 0;
    }
    Compiling the project

    gcc stripc.c -o stripc
    Here is an example of removing comments from C source file.

    stripc -C example.c example-clean.c
