sed, grep question

["Calvin Lam" <clamhm hotmail com>]

hi all,

I want to parse a configuration file which is full of comments to a output 
file which contain the real "stuff" (i.e. strip off all the comment).

For instance, my file is as follows:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Comment with # at the very beginning

myvar=99            # comment at the end of the line
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To parse it to a file like:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
myvar=99
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think it can be done by sed and/or grep.  Please help.


Best Regards,

Calvin Lam
