So I'm trying to change c99 style comments ( // some stuff )
into c89 comments
( /* some stuff */ ) (ignore the parenthesis)
I'm trying to use grep, but regex is so frustrating. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

grep's regex isn't that great. egrep is better for searching with a regular expression, and sed is better at manipulating a file with regexes.

sed 's/\/\/(.+?)/\/\*\1\*\//'
