REGEX find all comments

I wrote this regex to find absolutely all kinds of comments in file, but it detects http:// also because of (//.*).

(/\*([^*]|[\r\n]|(\*+([^*/]|[\r\n])))*\*+/)|(//.*)|(<!--[\s\S]*?-->)

How to modify this regex to not to find http:// etc? Do you think that it's optimal regex for this purpose? If not what do you suggest?

Looks like a lot of fun there. :) How about using the negative lookbehind technique with regex if it is supported with the setup you're using. Instead of:

//

use:

(?<!:)//
