the exact hack code starts with

/*km0ae9gr6m*/

is it possible to remove everything after this code in all files that contain it ?
You ought to provide a sample of what the data looks like, instead of expecting everyone to work blindly. Since you cannot solve the problem yourself, you are probably not competent to judge what is and is not important (that is not meant as an insult, just a statement of fact that applies to us all when we can't solve a problem). Giving us as much information as possible helps us provide a better solution in less time.

As a general rule, don't ask people to work from textual descriptions of data. Always provide realistic data (for input and output) and take some time before creating a thread to consider all the special 5% cases that may present themselves. We are volunteering our time to you; don't make us work harder than necessary.

   '

I don't think that will give the correct result if /*km0ae9gr6m*/ occurs more than once in the text to be discarded. It may very well not be an issue, but since we haven't actually seen the data, I mention it just in case.

mono-server2-admin

MONO-SERVER2-ADMIN(8)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     MONO-SERVER2-ADMIN(8)

NAME

       mono-server2-admin - mono-server2 hosts file creator, hosts file is part of the debianized mod_mono package

SYNOPSIS

       mono-server2-admin.conf [action] [args]

   OPTIONS
	 Actions:

	   add	      Use 'add' if you want to create an application and want mono-server2 scripts to manage it
	   del	      If you want to remove an application

	 Args:

	   --path     The path where you have your aspx files, MUST EXISTS!, required only with add action
	   --app      The name of your application
	   --libs     If you have dlls outside your path, you must use this!
	   --port     Needed if you are running multiple virtual hosts in different ports in Apache
	   --vhost    If you want to add asp.net support to a virtualhost you must use this. Example: foobar.com

DESCRIPTION

	mono-server2-admin.conf is a perl tool to adminstrate your ASP.NET webapps that will be executed with
	mod_mono.

	When you try to add an application, admin.conf will verify that your path exists, if it is, it will
	add a directory inside /etc/xsp/conf.d with the name of your app, and also as a file with the
	filename format: 10_appname. This file will have the information (path, app).

	So, when mono-xsp-update.conf is executed it will read those dirs and create a debian.webapp in
	/etc/xsp that the xsp daemon will read, also with a mono-server2-hosts.conf that will have your
	directory settings with apache directives. Apache will read mono-server2-hosts.conf!
