Without Comments

Remove rust-style line and block comments from a char iterator.

This crate provides the WithoutComments iterator and the IntoWithoutComments trait implemented for all Iterator<Item=char> providing the without_comments method.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] without-comments = "0.0.1"

main.rs: ```rust fn main() { use std::fs::readtostring;

    let without_comments = read_to_string("test.txt")
        .unwrap()
        .chars()
        .without_comments()
        .collect::<String>();

    println!("{}", without_comments);

} ```

test.txt: text This is text // this is a line comment This is more text /* this is a block comment /* this one is nested */ */ This is text again /* If a block comment is left open, it keeps going until the end.

output: ```text This is text This is more text This is text again

```

Note that trailing spaces and newlines are preserved, showing whitespace the output looks like this:

```text This·is·text·¶ This·is·more·text·¶ This·is·text·again¶

```
