Regex to remove single-line SQL comments (--)

Question

Question:

Can anybody give me a working regex expression (C#/VB.NET) that can remove single line comments from a SQL statement ?

I mean these comments:

Answer 1

You want something like this for the simple case

-{2,}.*

The -{2,} looks for a dash that happens 2 or more times

The .* gets the rest of the lines up to the newline

*But, for the edge cases, it appears that SinistraD is correct in that you cannot catch everything, however here is an article about how this can be done in C# with a combination of code and regex.
