Hi,
I need sed to do something which sounds simple, but I can't figure out
the right command. All I need to do is insert a blank after a '}' at the
end of a line if the next line begins immediately afterwards (i.e. with
no blank line between).
//abc.cpp :
int myclass::fx(int * arg)
{
if(! (isValid()))
{
return -1;
}
return ptr->fx(arg);
}
//what-i-want.cpp :
int myclass::fx(int * arg)
{
if(! (isValid()))
{
return -1;
}
return ptr->fx(arg);
}
The commands I have tried are :
i)
sed -e 's/\(}$\)\n\(^[[:space:]]*[[:alpha:]]\+\)/\1\n\n\2/' \
<abc.cpp >what-i-want.cpp
ii)
sed -e 's/\(}$\)\(^[[:space:]]*[[:alpha:]]\+\)/\1\n\2/' \
<abc.cpp >what-i-want.cpp
but obviously neither works, which is why posting this message.
Can anybody please tell me what the correct command would be like ?
Thank you &
