OK, I think I solved my problem: replace-regexp "!.*" " " and all the
comments are gone, and the line numbers are unchanged. Now, the
resulting file can be saved under a different file name, or the buffer
could be renamed and the intended regexp search can be performed, either
with occur or isearch-regexp.
Thanks all anyway.
Best,
FCC.
PS. If there is a better solution, I would like to hear it.
