Something like this ?

Code:
awk '{ if ( match($0, "^#") ) { print "line is commented" } else { print "line is not commented" } }' filename

Or, if you want to test only the lines containing /usr/bin/whatever, you can modify the very good suggestion above:

Code:
awk '$0 ~ /\/usr/bin\/whatever/ { if ( match($0, "^#") ) { print "line is commented" } else { print "line is not commented" } }' filename

Awk is pretty fantastic for this sort of thing.

NAME
cs_destroy - clean up and dealloc a parse tree SYNOPSIS
#include <cs/cs.h> void cs_destroy (CSPARSE **parse); ARGUMENTS
parse - a pointer to a parse structure. DESCRIPTION
cs_destroy will clean up all the memory associated with a CSPARSE structure, including strings passed to cs_parse_string. This does not clean up any memory allocated by your own CSOUTFUNC or the HDF data structure passed to cs_init. It is safe to call this with a NULL pointer, and it will leave parse NULL as well (ie, it can be called more than once on the same var) RETURN VALUE
parse - will be NULL SEE ALSO
