Hi
I am use Ultraedit a short time
I ask me : is there a function that allow to
erase all comment and page break?

A macro with regular expression search and replaces can do that. See help of UE about regular expression search and replace before asking again.

The language is Html
I have read the guide
To erase the comment, that is <!-- --> , how must I do?
I have try already writing
^(<!--*-->^) ^b
but the result is null.

The following works for me:
In replace dialog, check "regular expressions".
Find: <!--*-->
Replace (nothing)

I mean all the strings

I activated my brain and found (in 10 minutes!) hopefully the best solution for this special purpose. The following macro does, what you want. There are some special extras included.
[ ^t^p]++ deletes spaces, tabs and line breaks following the comment, if they exist. This avoids also creating a empty line instead of a multiline block comment.
The IfFound command after "-->[ ^t^p]++" is needed to exit loop at bad commented html files, where the comment end is missing (Frontpage sometimes creates such bad comments), letting the cursor at start of this bad comment.
The macro can also be use for replacing single line html comments.
InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
UnixReOff
Top
Find RegExp "<!--[~-]+-->[ ^t^p]++"
Replace All ""
Loop
Find "<!--"
IfFound
StartSelect
Find RegExp Select "-->[ ^t^p]++"
IfFound
EndSelect
Delete
Else
ExitLoop
EndIf
Else
ExitLoop
EndIf
EndLoop
To delete empty space before line comment starts, use this alternative macro:
InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
UnixReOff
Top
Find RegExp "[ ^t^p]++<!--[~-]+-->[ ^t^p]++"
Replace All ""
Loop
Find RegExp "[ ^t^p]++<!--"
IfFound
StartSelect
Find RegExp Select "-->[ ^t^p]++"
IfFound
EndSelect
Delete
Else
ExitLoop
EndIf
Else
ExitLoop
EndIf
EndLoop
The last macro makes sure, that the "comments" around css and javascript code in head is not deleted.
InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
UnixReOff
Top
Find <body
IfNotFound
ExitMacro
EndIf
Find RegExp "[ ^t^p]++<!--[~-]+-->[ ^t^p]++"
Replace All ""
Top
Find <body
IfNotFound
ExitMacro
EndIf
Loop
Find RegExp "[ ^t^p]++<!--"
IfFound
StartSelect
Find RegExp Select "-->[ ^t^p]++"
IfFound
EndSelect
Delete
Else
ExitLoop
EndIf
Else
ExitLoop
EndIf
EndLoop
Ooppss, I had to insert an additional body search from top at last macro.

I am incapable to write macro. That is because despite I have read the guide. I didn't succeed to write macro and to modify that you are written.
(for example to add "the replace of page break" I can only that it need of add the string "^B" but making this, the macro doesn't work)
For this reason I ask you: if you know a website where try example of macro or if you know a guide (not the guide of UltraEdit that is little explicative in respect to this).
I certainly will have new exigency and I will have need to make new macro.

What do you understand as page break?
UE means a single, normally not visible character with hexcode 0C. That's not a <br>, <p> or <hr>!
I don't know, if a guide for UE macro exist. I never needed one. I simply learned it by reading manual, recording macros and modifying the macro code after record. My first macros and regular expressions were also very simple and not so complicated as this one. Learning by doing is always the best method. But do not start with a tricky one. First you have to learn to crawl, before walking or running!
I have planned to create a collection of my best and most useful UE macros with detailed description and some test files for every macro. But at the moment I have no time to spend a lot of hours for creating this collection. So the only advice I can give to you at the moment is, read as much posts in the macro and find/replace forum as possible and try to understand, how the works.

I ask you last thing. How come modified this macro if I wanted erase also the page break? "^b" where must I add it?Mofi wrote:InsertMode

It depends, where the page break is.
If inside the comment, it should be automatically ignored, although I have not tested it.
If after the comment, add it in both [ ^t^p]++, so it looks like [ ^t^p^b]++.
Important: lower case ^b and not uppercase!
