If the comment line is the last one, the line break won't be removed by this way:
Better like this:
Code: Select all
Test =
(
; Foo
;Bar
; aaa aaaaa
Baz
; last comment
)
Test := RegExReplace(Test, "`am)^\s*;.*(?:\R|$)")
MsgBox % "|" Test "|"Code: Select all
Test =
(
; Foo
;Bar
; aaa aaaaa
Baz
; last comment
)
Test := RegExReplace(Test, "m`a)(\R)?^\s*;.*(?(1)|\R)")
MsgBox % "|" Test "|"Re: Regex to remove comment lines
