Regex to search only in NCLOCs
Search only between uncommented lines (NCLOC - Non-Comment Lines Of Code):
First solution matches "keyWord" which is not commented with single line comment //
^*(?<!\/\/.*)keyWord // this uses negative lookbehind
or another solution without lookbehind for regex engines, that does not support it:
^[^//]*keyWord
