Congratulations. Those are all very good scripts to strip comments.
All we need now is that users read this thread before posting their config files and remember to use the [ code ] and [ /code ] tags.

My version is this, which also deletes lines with ";", like the smb.conf
| Code: | | sed -e 's/[#;].*//;/^\s*$/d' |
It's also possible to add exactly this into the .bashrc as an alias. |
Thanks brilliant!
I've been looking for something to strip the ";" comments out of my Asterisk files while i'm still setting it up.
Thanks.

All these look very complex...
works for me, and you can replace the "#" for something else if you need to. Althought it doesn't take account of whitespace, but I find 9 times out of 10 it's enough.

Just updated it (only two and a half years late  ) so that it takes into account whitespace before a comment, lines that only contain whitespace and so that it uses just one grep process.

Ratsafrats  I went back re-read the submissions, and for sed Eds " sed 's/#.*//;/^\s*$/d' "$@" " and x1jmp's sed 's/[#;].*//;/^\s*$/d' it is obvious that they new the great secret of the shortest sed for SIMPLE  configs but hide it in supurfluous hyperbole and you fell for it 
EDIT In a kind hearted effort, I remove the dangling "-e" form pooor old Eds and x1jmps ostentatious seds.

Maybe `confcat` should go in baselayout

Or perhaps gentoolkit. I named mine ecat for Gentoo-ishness and as a nod to Ed Catmur.

Late jumping in, I recon - I've just followed the link from UberLord's signature...
I've been using an alias for purging comments from files. I've put the alias definition in .bash_profile as follows:
| .bash_profile: | | alias purge="egrep -v '^[[:space:]]*#|^ *$|^$'" |
It takes less than a script and is more convenient, IMHO. For now it works only on shell files but if you want to strip off comments à la Samba, just append "|^[[:space:]]*;".
As a suggestion, just put it in /etc/skel/.bash_profile ?
