I know that several of you are working on code and working on splitting
up code. Here is something I have used before from the UNIX POWER
TOOLS for breaking up C code into individual source files.<br>
<br>
example, adapted from AT&T's UNIX <em class="emphasis">
User's Reference Manual</em>
:
<p class="para"></p>
<blockquote class="screen">
<pre class="screen">% <code class="userinput">
<b>
csplit -s -k -f routine. prog.c '%main(%' '/^}/+1' '{99}'</b>
</code>
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p class="para">
The idea is that the file <em class="emphasis">
prog.c</em> contains a group of C routines, and we want to place each
one in a separate file (<em class="emphasis">
routine.00</em>
, <em class="emphasis">
routine.01</em>
, etc.). The first pattern uses <code class="literal">
%</code> because we want to discard anything before <em
class="emphasis">
main</em>
. The next argument says, "Look for a closing brace at the beginning of
a line (the conventional end of a routine) and split on the following
line (the assumed beginning of the next routine)." Repeat this split up
to 99 times, using <em class="emphasis">
-k</em> to preserve the created files. [4]</p>
<blockquote class="footnote">
<p class="para">[4] In this case, the repeat can actually occur only
98 times, since we've already specified two arguments and the maximum
number is 100.</p>
</blockquote>
If you want to do Fortran, then there is a program called fsplit that I
have installed on zeus. (type man fsplit)<br>
