regex to find an uncommented println

Can someone share a regex that find all 开发者_运维问答not double-slashed commented println in java code?

Example:

System.out.println("MATCH")   /*this line match*/
//    System.out.println("DOESN'T MATCH")  /*this line doesn't match*/

(I'm using this regex into throw eclipse searching dialog)

Okay, as I already mentioned, regex is not the right tool, so if you end up using my suggestion, be sure to backup your source!

The following regex matches a single line that has System.out.print in it, without // or /* before it (in that same line!).

(?m)^((?!//|/\*).)*System\.out\.print.*

or simply:

(?m)^[ \t]*System\.out\.print.*

which can then be replaced with:

//$0

to comment it.

Again: this will go wrong with multi line comments, and as Kobi mentioned, stuff like /* // */ System.out.print... to name just two of the many cases this regex will trip over.

Also consider the line:

System.out.println("..."); /*
comments
*/

you don't want to end up with:

//System.out.println("..."); /*
comments
*/

You could probably just do something simple like:

^[ \t]*[^/][^/].*println.*
