Sed command to delete between 2 points

[utcguy]

I was wondering if there is a single line sed command to delete lines of text between 2 characters. For example, between /* and */ in a java/c source code. I try sed '/[/*]/,/[*/]/d' but it only deletes odd parts of the code. I thought that the above meant delete between */ and */ but it doesnt work. Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks

try this:

sed -e '/\/\*/,/\*\//d'

the regex you were using meant 'delete lines between any line containing a '/' or a '*' and lines containing a '*' or '/''

Thank you very much. Now I understand what I was doing wrong.
