C# Regex - Loop through textbox?

I want to remove anything after // to the end.

Example:

Pickup0=1240,-2572.2773,651.0634,33.8931,-1 // text
Pickup1=1242,-2564.4270,651.1445,33.8931,-1 // text
Pickup2=358,-2559.6565,636.4931,14.4592,-1 // text42434
Pickup3=356,-2573.4871,636.5174,14.4592,-1 // blabla

I want it to be:

Pickup0=1240,-2572.2773,651.0634,33.8931,-1
Pickup1=1242,-2564.4270,651.1445,33.8931,-1
Pickup2=358,-2559.6565,636.4931,14.4592,-1
Pickup3=356,-2573.4871,636.5174,14.4592,-1

I could do it with this code, but it only removes the // one time and not all of them.

textBox1.Text = Regex.Replace(textBox1.Text, @"\//.*$", "");

You need to turn on the m (multi-line) modifier which causes $ to match the end of each line. 

Regex.Replace(textBox1.Text, @"(?m)//.*$", "");

But the end of string $ anchor is not necessary to use in this case because .* will match any character except newline, so you could just simply remove it from your regular expression.

Regex.Replace(textBox1.Text, @"//.*", "");
