Where's your question? What's the error? Did you not understand Salem's example/guidance? Ask a little more if you didn't; in the same post. No need to make another thread for the same problem.

You're skipping a bunch of characters. For example, if you encounter a "/" and the next character is neither a "/" nor an "*", you do not output it. If you encounter a "/*" and then subsequently encounter an "*" that is not followed by a "/", you likewise do not output it.

You're also

• using void main(), which is non-standard;
• using while(!feof(fp)), which reads too far;
• not checking if your program was passed enough parameters, so argv[1] and argv[2] might not contain file names;
• not checking if the files could be opened, so your program will crash if this is the case;
• and trying to stuff the value of getc() into a char, while you need an int (because EOF is an int value, not a char one).

Is / * considered as a start of comment ? I guess no
/* is considered as start of comment
