I'm trying to parse a plain text file or a source code file for which I need to build a regular expression to detect single line comments. I'm trying the following one without success:
re = sprintf("^\%s.*\n$", Symbol)
Symbol is a variable that is passed to an AWK program and it should contain the particular character that marks the single line comment to be ignored.

The default value ofRSis a newline, so you shouldn't have to set it at all.
