# Notice
Do not run this against minified JavaScript packages. The minified packages often rely on line returns to execute correctly.

This regular expression was designed to minify simple JavaScript.

# Regular Expression
`(?s)[\t\r\n]|[ ][ ]+|/\*.*?\*/*`

I put spaces in square brackets as a reminder that they exist. Spaces can be important. For example, `$( "#foo #bar" )` should not become `$("#foo#bar")`. However, we do want to remove spaces if they are used for indentation.

I'm having trouble removing // comments due to values such as "http://."

# Usage in ColdFusion
`sJavaScriptContent=	sJavaScriptContent.ReplaceAll( "(?s)\s|/\*.*?\*/|//[^\r\n]*" , "" );`

# Test Cases
```
// Test 0
/* Test 1 */
/* Test * / * 2 */
/* Test

  $( "#foo #bar" ).val( "Test 11 - This value should exist." );
    $( "#foo #bar" ).val( "http://orangexception.com/" ); // Test 12 - http:// should exist. However, this comment should not exist. //
// Test 13 - This line should be gone. http://orangexception.com/foo/bar/
