java正则表达式删除,Java - 正则表达式 - 删除评论

I want to remove comments in Java code. I have seen a lot of examples, but each was written wrong.

Here is example of code:

String somestring = "http://google.com"; // "//google.com";" is going to be removed

Another example:

get.setHeader("Accept", "*/*"); // "/*");" and later is going to be removed too

But I want right regular expression which handles those cases

It should handle common cases:

somemethod();//it should be removed

somemethod(); /* some comment that may end on other line */

But should be handled and other situations:

String somestring = "http://google.com"; // url shouldn't be touched

get.setHeader("Accept", "*/*"); // "*/*" shouldn't be touched too

解决方案

Already commented this but lets see how far we get. Java doesn't do regex literals so stripping that one from this answer we get the following regex:

((['"])(?:(?!\2|\\).|\\.)*\2)|\/\/[^\n]*|\/\*(?:[^*]|\*(?!\/))*\*\/

If we then "replace" every match with the first capture group, every match that doesn't have a capture group to begin with (i.e. a comment) is removed:

A explanation of the more generic "match this except in conditions a|b|c"-technique I employed is available here.
