Getting rid of comments from any File

Ever wanted to have a mean squid.conf file?

How neat it may look if U get rid of all that comments of # marks

Yeah I found out an easier way with grep command
Infact I wanted to do it with awk which I am trying to learn but found the command worked on linux wont work in FreeBSD
So went back not shell commands and grep was there to save the day

#grep -v ^# /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf | grep -v ^$

Must get you the filtered squid configuration file without all that commented lines
Enjoy
