Seeking Progress Comment Stripper

can anyone recommend a utility to strip out comments from progress code?

I'm trying to perform a three way code comparison of some qad mfg/pro code and would like to remove the comments to simplify the resulting difference. qad was in the practice of inserting ECO tags on each line of modified code as well as retaining obsolete code by bracketing it with comments which makes for a fairly torturous process at times.

best regards,

if you're looking to clean up and make your code more readable you can use
beauty.p and others like it.

to remove comments, indentations, unabbreviate etc. from what i know the
prog was written around a decade ago, so use it for what it's worth.

prolint is another tool for reviewing code, never used it myself but it comes
highly recommended.


but if you're just looking to strip comments and blank lines etc. adminscript
that i posted a few weeks ago, has a short routine for trimming source code.

from what i remember the routine is pretty short and has a few comments
about the process, you can start from there.


from what i've seen in the web events, the eclipse ide makes our lifes much
easier in terms of making the code clearer and more understandable.

eclipse is a leap in light years from the old ade, if anything it's to feature rich.
