You could try something along the lines of:
perl -p -i.bak -e 's/oldstring/newstring/g' filename
The incantation for the comments would be something along the lines of
[\/*][a-zA-Z0-9-.,]*[*\/] though that may blow the machine up and do
irreprable harm. Perhaps some of the Regexp experts here could give the
right incantation.
