It's been done before, but not lately...

***comments about the script***

just include it and call it with the name of an .au3 file. pass full path or not at your discretion. It will remove blank lines and comments, including block (#cs - #ce) comments, creating a new script in place of the old one, and save the old one in the same place with a .old extension. I didn't put any real error checking in it, as far as checking if file exists or anything, but because of the way it's written, it shouldn't do anything but crash if you give it a nonexistant file. Oh yeah, beta is required.

forgot to code block it the first time.
