Usage

cargo run --release

Follow the interactive prompts:

1. Choose directory to scan
2. Select files to process
3. Confirm operation
4. View results

How It Works

Uses a state machine parser that tracks:

• Code state
• String literals (with escape sequences)
• Regex patterns (JS/TS)
• Multiline strings
• Line comments
• Block comments

Automatically skips:

• node_modules, target, dist, build
• .git, .svn, .hg
• pycache, venv, vendor

Performance

• Multi-threaded processing across all CPU cores
• Optimized release build with LTO
• Processes 1000+ files in seconds

Safety

• Preserves all code functionality
• Never removes comments inside strings
• Handles escaped characters correctly
• Detects regex context in JS/TS
• Maintains file structure and newlines
