Strip block comments

Strip block comments
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

A block comment begins with a begining delimiter and ends with a ending delimiter, including the delimiters.

Task : Strips block comments from text (of codes). Your demos should at least handle simple, non-nested and multiline block comment delimiters.

Sample text for striping.

  /**
   * Some comments
   * longer comments here that we can parse.
   *
   * Rahoo 
   */
   function subroutine() {
    a = /* inline comment */ b + c ;
   }
   /*/ <-- triky comments */

   /**
    * Another comment.
    */
    function something() {
    }
