% MATLAB Comment Stripping Toolbox

A small collection of utilities for stripping MATLAB comments from strings and files.

Description

This is a small collection of utilities for stripping MATLAB comments from MATLAB code. The code may be given in strings, cell arrays of strings, or read from a file or file identifier. There is full support for stripping comments from multi-line strings, that is strings with embedded newlines, which typically appear when an entire file is read in one go.

Excellent! This is regular expressions on steroids...makes quick work of comment stripping. Thanks, Peter.

Useful. A bit out of date, though: With R14, I'm getting a many copies of this warning:

Warning: The 'tokenize' option for regexprep is now the default behavior. If I remove 'tokenize' it goes away.

hi, very nice application. But when it works perfect up to line 277 after that it don't work as it supposed to work. There there anything that i can change?? like some memory limitations?? i need to use it on a file with 17000 lines. Any suggestions please.

Oh, besides of the NOT ignored lines after "...", also grouped comments are NOT ignored:
