% MATLAB Comment Stripping Toolbox
Editor's Note: This file was selected as MATLAB Central Pick of the Week
This is a small collection of utilities for stripping MATLAB comments from MATLAB code. The code may be given in strings, cell arrays of strings, or read from a file or file identifier. There is full support for stripping comments from multi-line strings, that is strings with embedded newlines, which typically appear when an entire file is read in one go.
