Counting commented lines in C code

[aparajita]

In C scripts, The comments are multi lined starting from /* and ending with */.
How can we count the commented lines if there are hundred scripts to be scanned.
a grep command will give only the first and last line

I think in sed you can get the lines starting with some pattern and ending with some pattern.
Try to get it and then use wc -l on it and you will get the number of commented lines
