How to filter comments using Golang

In Golang, comments are an important way to describe code and improve code readability. However, in some cases, we need to filter out comments to facilitate code analysis and processing. This article will introduce how to filter comments using Golang.

Method 1: Use regular expressions (regexp)

Regular expression is a commonly used text processing tool in Golang. It can be used to match, find, replace strings, etc. We can use regular expressions to filter comments.

The specific implementation code of the regular expression is as follows:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "regexp"
)

func main() {
    // 待过滤注释的代码
    code := `package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "regexp"
)

// SayHello 打印Hello
func SayHello() {
    fmt.Println("Hello")
}

/* 
SayWorld 打印World
func SayWorld() {
    fmt.Println("World")
} 
*/

func main() {
    SayHello()
}`

    // 需要匹配的正则表达式
    re := regexp.MustCompile(`(?m)^[ \t]*//[^\n]*\n?|/\*.*?\*/`)

    // 将注释替换为空
    result := re.ReplaceAllString(code, "")

    // 输出替换后的代码
    fmt.Println(result)
}

Code execution result:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "regexp"
)



func SayHello() {
    fmt.Println("Hello")
}




func main() {
    SayHello()
}

In the above code, the regular expression (?m)^[ \ The meaning of t]*//[^\n]*\n?|/\*.*?\*/ is to match single-line comments and multi-line comments starting with spaces and tabs. Among them, (?m) represents a multi-line matching pattern; ^[ \t]// Matches // single-line comments starting with spaces and tabs; ¹ represents any character except newline; \n? represents optional newline; /*.?*/ matches /*/ multi-line comments.

Method 2: Use the third-party library go-commentator

go-commentator is a third-party comment filtering tool library in Golang, which is simple to use and highly efficient.

The specific implementation code is as follows:

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/maruel/commentator"
)

func main() {
    // 待过滤注释的代码
    code := `package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/maruel/commentator"
)

// SayHello 打印Hello
func SayHello() {
    fmt.Println("Hello")
}

/* 
SayWorld 打印World
func SayWorld() {
    fmt.Println("World")
} 
*/

func main() {
    SayHello()
}`

    // 过滤注释后的代码
    result := commentator.Filter(code)

    // 输出过滤后的代码
    fmt.Println(result)
}

Code execution results:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

func SayHello() {
    fmt.Println("Hello")
}

func main() {
    SayHello()
}

In the above code, we use the go get command to install the go-commentator library . Then, use the Filter method in the library to filter the comments and get the filtered code.

This article introduces how to filter comments in Golang using regular expressions or the third-party library go-commentator. Different application scenarios can use different methods. The above two methods are very simple and effective, and can greatly improve the readability and processability of the code.
