decomment, a C++ code which makes a copy of a file in which all lines beginning with the "#" character have been removed.
It is a common convention to indicate comments in a file by an initial "#" character. I often use this convention in my data files, and it is part of the TABLE format However, certain hard-hearted or soft-headed codes will not accept comment lines. The code allows me to comment my data files, but then to easily make an uncommented version, when necessary, to feed to illiterate codes.
