Need Java regular expression

Hi,

I am looking for a Java regular expression to match the below pattern of a java script file.
Code:
            var so = object.device.load('camera','value');

I want to grep out such lines present in the *.js files. The conditions are:

a) the line may start with blank space(s)
b) always the string remains same as "var so = object.device.load(....);" but differs in the arguments & quotes (may be single or double) inside parantheses
c) should not be included if it is commented using /* */ (or) // where as it may be multi-line comments (i.e)
Code:
  
     /*
         .....
         var so = ..... 
    */


Somehow, I managed to get the below regexp by google search
Code:
^(\\s*)var *.*object[ .]*device.*[ )] *;$

but not working with the comments part

Any help would be highly appreciated!!
