Print Cleaner is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to comment out print statements in Python files with the option to exclude statements that follow a particular pattern. This extension helps in cleaning up code by quickly and easily commenting out print statements that are no longer needed for debugging or logging purposes.
Features
Comments out print statements in Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript files within the project directory.
Skips commenting print statements if the previous line contains # required or // required.
Works with individual files, selected files, or the entire workspace.
Supports Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript files.

Launch Visual Studio Code.
Go to the Extensions view by clicking on the square icon on the left sidebar or by pressing Ctrl+Shift+X.

Usage
Open your project in Visual Studio Code.
Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the Command Palette.

Choose one of the following options:
"Current File": Comments out print statements in the currently active file.
"Select File(s)": Allows you to select multiple files from the project directory to comment out print statements.
"Workspace": Comments out print statements in all Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript files in the workspace.
