I'm putting info from a trace table into the DB and I'd like to remove all TSQL comments from the textdata to make it easier to see things at a glance. (Any line starting with -- or between /* */). I can do this in an external language, but it would be great if it could be done right in SQL. Ideas?

Do some reading on CHARINDEX, PATINDEX, and SUBSTRING.
I think that will point you in the reight direction.
