extracting all comments from the script editor

Question

Hi All,

I have a long script that and would like to copy-paste all the comments in it to a Word document.

is there a way of selecting just the comments? or is it just deleting manually all the actual commands after pasting into word?

thanks,

ron

Since JSL files are just text files, there are several comment parsers out there you can easily google.  Here's a good blog post on using regex to find comments in code:
