I am trying to grep a certain line from a file but i cant seem to get it. The phrase is a comment of syntax: /* all on one line */ There are also similar lines that I do not want that are posing me problems: /* multi line comment */ /* ** Another multi ** line comment */ //* single line #2 // ******** // Can anyone please help me out?
