i have to remove the commented (/* . . . .*/) part which starts in one line and ends in other.help me with generic code because i have 1000 to 10k lines code which i have to remove.

data one;
set work.temp;
input name age;
infile filename;
/* dfsdf
dsfs
sdfdf
dsdd
sdfsf
sdfsf
sfs
fsfs
dffsf */
if age > 10 the do;
/* people who have age 
 more than 10
*/ 
run;

I have tried below code:

sed 's#; */\*[^*]*\*/ *$#;#' filename.txt
egrep -v '/|/d' filename.txt
 sed -v '/\/\*/,/\*\//p' filename.txt

using awk:

nawk '/\/\*/{f=1;next}/\*\//{f=0;next}!f{print}' file
