Hide comments in conf files and scripts
Sometimes when I look at different .conf files or scripts, comments cluttering up my terminal bother me - I just want to see the real stuff. So I perled myself a little script, added to a pathed folder and now I can just type for example:
nocomment /etc/smb.conf
and voila - no junk in my terminal. And if I want to output that to a file instead of terminal…
nocomment /etc/smb.conf > /etc/smb.conf.new
Here's the simple script called nocomment
