sed remove css comments
Is there a way that I can use sed to remove lines with css comments like this?
/* comment */

Test this command whether it works
Code:
sed "/\/\*.*\*\//d;/\/\*/,/\*\// d" file

Can comments and "code" be mixed on the same line?

i.e.
Code:
$ cat file1
some stuff
<!-- some comment-->
some more stuff <!-- some comment 2-->
<!-- some comment 3-->yet some more stuff

$ sed "s/<!--[^>]*>//;/^$/d" file1
some stuff
some more stuff 
yet some more stuff

The only thing I don't like about that solution is it removes all the blank lines in the file also.
