   Here's the dump of the state machine for that regex using lexertl:   
      
   State: 0   
     [/] -> 1   
      
   State: 1   
     [*] -> 2   
      
   State: 2   
     [^*] -> 2   
     [*] -> 3   
      
   State: 3   
     [^*/] -> 2   
     [*] -> 3   
     [/] -> 4   
      
   State: 4   
     END STATE
