```
user$ node path\to\clean.js path\to\filetoclean.in (optional) no-comments
```
This program will remove any whitespace and optionally single line (//) comments from a text file. I use the convention .in but it will accept a text file with a variety of extensions. The resulting file will be placed in the same directory as the source file and will have the extension .in.
WARNING: THIS PROGRAM WILL OVERWRITE AN EXISTING .IN FILE WITH THE SAME NAME
