Folks;

Arrgh - I accidently hit send while constructing this email.
Please note that the regex ^// does NOT work to filter out single line comments!!


SO the question still stands - how to accomplish the 'No Comment' filter.

I apologize for the noise....

Folks;

I use the 'Find' function a reasonable amount in XCode.
I often use 'In Project' - 'Textual' - 'Contains'...

I want is to filter out all results for my textual searches which occur in commented lines.

The Options button allows one to define a 'Find Set' with a regex applied as a general filter.
So I've created an 'Exclude' Find Set that uses ^//. Seems to work for the single line comments


You can see probably see this coming...
What I'm wondering is if there is a way to also filter out those occurrences within multi-line comments
/*
like this comment
*/


My regular expressions skill are simply not up to even assessing the task.
I do realize that it is a snit of a problem in its general form!


Thanks for any help,
Steve
