so, something like [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat t.c #include <stdio.h> return foo (int a, int b, int c) { return a + b + c; } int main (int argc, char** argv) { foo(foo(10,20,30), 2, 3); foo(4, 5, 6); foo(7, 8, 8); return 0; } [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cpp -D"foo(a,b,c)=found func(a, [second parm b], c)" t.c | perl -lne 'print for /\[second parm .*?\]/g' [second parm int b] [second parm 20] [second parm 2] [second parm 5] [second parm 8] Except for the false positive for the function definition that works fairly well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
