Output code comments to documentation 1

[RBSTR]

Hi
I would like to produce some sort of documentation of some of my code.
Is there a tool (free preferably) that would, for example, scan my VB6 project and output my code comments to a document/clipboard?
I understand something similar can be done in Visual Studio 2005 using XML comment (

If you want to get comment lines from your code, you can write pretty simple app to do so in VB 6. Form1.frm is nothing more than simple text file, you can open it in Notepad if you want to.

If your comments are on separate lines, you can:

Dim strTextLine As String
Open "C:\VBProject\Form.frm" For Input As #1
Open "C:\VBProject\Comm.txt" For Output As #2

Do While Not EOF(1)  
   Line Input #1, strTextLine
   If Left(Trim(strTextLine), 1) = "'" Then
        Print #2, Mid(Trim(strTextLine), 2)
   End If
Loop

Close #2
Close #1

Have fun.

If your code is clean, only comments not commented out code, you can use the find feature of MZTools and it will produce a report of all the forms, modules and comments in them. Just do a find on '

Forgot to mention it's free for VB 6.0 and below.
