I want to remove this pattern from all text files walking through the directories (recursively) with Windows batch script (.bat).

How to do that?

Here's a multi-line text pattern: 

/* this is
a multi-line
pattern
*/

  • Are you trying to remove comments from source code (C or C++ or something like that)? – Mat Jun 05 '11 at 10:24
  • Look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/241327/python-snippet-to-remove-c-and-c-comments and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2394017/remove-comments-from-c-c-code. You probably won't find a solution with just the plain `cmd` tools, the problem is more complex than that. – Mat Jun 05 '11 at 10:46

I'd say cmd isn't efficient enough to do that. Try python or some other a-bit-higher-language.
