Would you like me to run this little shell script over LyX's .[Ch] files?
#! /bin/sh
for FILE in $*
do
DIR=`dirname ${FILE}`
BASE=`basename $1`
TMP=${DIR}/${BASE}.tmp
sed -e '/the LyX Team/d' \
-e '/\\author/s/\(.*\), \(.*\)/\1/' \
-e '/\\author/s/\(.*\) <\(.*\)>/\1/' \
< ${FILE} > ${TMP}
cmp -s ${FILE} ${TMP}
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
diff -u ${FILE} ${TMP}
mv -i ${TMP} ${FILE}
fi
rm -f ${TMP}
done
Results like:
aleem@pneumon:devel-> sh rmcopyright.sh src/graphics/*.[Ch]

overwrite src/graphics/GraphicsCache.C?
