Code to strip html comments in Notepad++ and leave only code

Question

I would like to strip HTML comments in Notepad++ and leave only code in an html file. How do I go about this? I can use regular expression search/replace.

I would use

<!--([^-]|-[^-])*-->

which is more robust (less permissive) than Oscar's solution.

After searching I couldn't find a simple solution , but then i created one that i would like to share.

in Select "Regular Expression" - Replace With field empty like this

and that's it!. You need to carefully and inspect before and after so, not to loose actual code.I did not loose any code.

i hope it helps
