in thread how do I print content of a cpp file without cpp comments?

It's been a while since I've written much C or C++, but doesn't your code have a slight problem when the comment character sequences appear in quoted strings?

Which (along with jarich's bug) just goes to illustrate the problems of trying to parse complex data using regular expressions. You'll almost certainly fall over subtle edge cases unless you use a real parser.

    Yep, I concede. File::Comments it is. This is what happens when you learn Perl without going through C first, and forget to always check CPAN :)
