Sed (seder’s) grab bag

Today I discovered a very handy collection of sed scripts. I can attest that remccoms3.sed does in fact remove comments from C / C++ (and assembly if you use C-style comments). I used it like this:

cat asm.S | ~/remcoms3.sed | grep -v "^\s*$" | wc -l

to get a count of the number of lines in an assembly program that are not comments or whitespace.
