Removing bash.sh #hash comments from a string using regEx in JavaScript

-
Last night i was looking for a method to remove comments from a robots.txt file containing contents of form below `# robots.txt user-agent Disallow:` Or a more practical format obtained by splitting the robots.txt file line by line. ["# robots.txt", "user-agent", "Disallow:"] every element of the array is a string representing a single line of text from a robots.txt plain text file. Regular expression I used regular expression to strip out the unwanted text until the end of the line however it's not limited to robots.txt it works perfectly with bash.sh files as well.
