Visual Studio regex to remove all comments and blank lines in VB.NET code using a macro

Question

I was trying to remove all comments and empty lines in a file with the help of a macro. Now I came up with this solution which deletes the comments(there is some bug descri

Answer 1

Delete the comments first using this regex

'+\s*(\W|\w).+

'+ - one or more ' for the beginning of each comment.

\s* - if there are spaces after the comment.

(\W|\w).+ - anything that follows except for line terminators.

Then remove the blank lines left using the regex Mr. Alan Moore provided.
