trying to resolve types - help me!!!

Hi guys,

I need to check from a sample cpp program if the foll. declaration exists:
const int *x = new const int;
it has to be replaced as
const int *x = new const int(3);

Problem is if it exists only once in the prg script is working fine.
for multiple occurences there is a problem

used grep cmd to search and then used cut to get the type and then used sed to replace

Plz let me know soon

Can you use a perl script instead. I might have one lying around that does find/replace on multiple files.

Hi

Thanks for ur reply.But, we can't use PERL.

I tried to read the sample code line by line using a temp file
and then within the while structure i used a case structure for the various occurrences of int,float,double .

with the help of sed statement i replaced new const int with new const int(3) using a variable for the default value.

Problem is only the last done replacement is there. rest everything is overwritten.

What should i do????
