Oh sorry, i am creating this bash script to take effect on a C programed file to take out all the comments. Yes this script does work and now i know why thanks alot you made it very clear. just dont understand how it knows if its a comment or if the comment isnt actually a comment and its in the echo command and the */ message /* will appear with the symbols being the same as what you would use for a comment.

Thanks again.
