Ok here is a snippet of the text file I have: config/meal/governor_mode_config.h #define GOVERNOR_MODE_TASK_RATE SSS_TID_0015MSEC #define GOVERNOR_MODE_WORK_MODE_MASK (CEAL_MODE_WORK_MASK_GEAR| \ CEAL_MODE_WORK_MASK_PARK_BRAKE | \ CEAL_MODE_WORK_MASK_VEHICLE_SPEED) #define GOVERNOR_MODE_IDLE_CHECK FALSE #define GOVERNOR_MODE_SPD_THRES 50 #define GOVERNOR_MODE_SPDDES_THRES 10
config/meal/components/source/kso_aic_core_config.h #define CEAL_KSO_AIC_CORE_TASK_RATE SSS_TID_0120MSEC #define CEAL_KSO_AIC_LOAD_FAC_AVG_TIME 300 #define CEAL_KSO_AIC_LOAD_FAC_HYST_TIME 30 #define CEAL_KSO_AIC_TEMP_DPF_INSTALLED TRUE #define CEAL_KSO_AIC_TEMP_DPF_ENABLE 450 #define CEAL_KSO_AIC_TEMP_DPF_HYST 25 #define CEAL_KSO_AIC_DPF_ROC_TIME 10 #define CEAL_KSO_AIC_TEMP_EXHAUST_INSTALLED FALSE #define CEAL_KSO_AIC_TEMP_EXHAUST_ENABLE 275 #define CEAL_KSO_AIC_TEMP_EXHAUST_HYST 25 #define CEAL_KSO_AIC_EXHAUST_ROC_TIME 10 #define CEAL_KSO_AIC_WORK_MODE_MASK (CEAL_MODE_WORK_MASK_GEAR | \ CEAL_MODE_WORK_MASK_PARK_BRAKE | \ CEAL_MODE_WORK_MASK_VEHICLE_SPEED) #define CEAL_KSO_AIC_OV_TIME 15 Here I am looking for the line that contains: "WORK_MODE_MASK", I want to print that line as well as the file name above it: config/meal/governor_mode_config.h or config/meal/components/source/ceal_PackD_kso_aic_core_config.h. SO the output should be something like this: config/meal/governor_mode_config.h #define GOVERNOR_MODE_WORK_MODE_MASK (CEAL_MODE_WORK_MASK_GEAR| \ CEAL_MODE_WORK_MASK_PARK_BRAKE | \ CEAL_MODE_WORK_MASK_VEHICLE_SPEED) config/meal/components/source/kso_aic_core_config.h #define CEAL_KSO_AIC_WORK_MODE_MASK (CEAL_MODE_WORK_MASK_GEAR | \ CEAL_MODE_WORK_MASK_PARK_BRAKE | \ CEAL_MODE_WORK_MASK_VEHICLE_SPEED) I hope this helps..
