C# - Regex To Remove Single-line SQL Comments?

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

-- This is a comment

not those

/* this is a comment */

because I already can handle the star comments.I have a made a little parser that removes those comments when they are at the start of the line, but they can also be somewhere after code or worse, in a SQL-string 'hello --Test -- World' Those comments should also be removed (except those in a SQL string of course - if possible).Surprisingly I didn't got the regex working. I would have assumed the star comments to be more difficult, but actually, they aren't.

As per request, here my code to remove /**/-style comments (In order to have it ignore SQL-Style strings, you have to subsitute strings with a uniqueidentifier (i used 4 concated), then apply the comment-removal, then apply string-backsubstitution.

static string RemoveCstyleComments(string strInput)
{
string strPattern = @"/[*][wds]+[*]/";
//strPattern = @"/*.*?*/"; // Doesn't work

[code]....
