    Hello Madhulika,
    Try using this regex (Single line comments only):

    String src ="How are things today /* this is comment */ and is your code /* this is another comment */ working?";
    String result=src.replaceAll("/\\*.*?\\*/","");//single line comments
    System.out.println(result);

    Here is regex for single and multi-line comments by adding (?s):

    //note the added \n which won't work with previous regex
    String src ="How are things today /* this\n is comment */ and is your code /* this is another comment */ working?";
    String result=src.replaceAll("(?s)/\\*.*?\\*/","");
    System.out.println(result);

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I think you need this -

    string str = 'this is test for newline \n this is actual newline.';
    system.debug(str.replace('\n',''));

    or

    string str = 'this is test for newline \r this is actual newline.';
    system.debug(str.replace('\r',''));

    Hope this helps.

    May be use this to remove:

    .replace(///.*?/?*.+?(?=n|r|$)|/*[sS]*?//[sS]*?*//g, ”)

     

    Thanks
