Stripping down text from files

I need to strip down all console statements (console.log, console.error, etc) from all javascript files in a folder. How do I do that?

trying this:

perl -pi -e "s/console.(.*);/g" *.js

doesn't work properly. I have to delete everything that starts with console. and end with closing parenthesis, not semicolon

Not tried but what about a short sed?

For example:

find . -name "*.js" -exec sed -i "s/console\.[^\)]+\);//g" '{}' \;

Supposing that all your console commands are in separate lines you can try something like this

perl -pi -e "s/^\s*console\.\(.*?\);\s*$//g" *.js
