Comment taking.

[Medino]

Hi there, I'm trying to write a c++ program in visual basic 6.0 that will take the comments from an arbitrary file (c or c++) and put in a text file. Now... I know that I need to define string line and the string content and that I need to work with fstream , but I just don't know how to write the goddamn program. I know that a lot of you will find begging someone to do your work for you extremely disrespectful, but I'm in a corner right now and I need all the help I can get. If anyone has done this kinda program before, please give it to me even though I don't deserve it.

Let's reduce the problem.
Take only the comments in the form //this is a comment and just to the end of line.

So simply read a line and find the "//" substring.
