Include File Parameter

[Subhransu]

Hi All,
I want to write a program which will list all the .p programs which have a specific include file (.i) with a specific include parameter (e.g. &filename). Can anyone suggest any simple ways to do so with a sample code?

Appriciate your help on this.

Thanks.

Are u using the Windows or Unix platform. I guess if ur using UNIX platform you can Write the Shell script todo this task in more simpler way just by using the UNIX commands like grep and all....

Hi,
I am using Windows platform. Does that mean we can not do it using Progress?

Thanks.

input from value (file-name)
repeat:
import unformatted line.
if line matches ("*{" + inclideFileName + "*" + "&filename" + "}*") then
message "Found! " file-name view-as alert-box.
end.
input close.

Doing this with grep-like tools is dangerous. E.g., xx/xxxx/xxxxxxxx.i looks the same in Windows as XX/XXXX/XXXXXXXX.i but is a lot more work to find using grep. Likewise,

{ xx/xxxx/xxxxx.i &filename }

and

{ xx/xxxx/xxxxx.i
&filename
}

are functionally equivalent, but hard to find using grep and similar tools.

The best solution is to do some scripting with the ProParse engine used by ProLint.

Where can I get the ProParse engine from? Is it a freeware?

For this use, you would need to do some scripting until someone creates a more general purpose tool. But, you should check out ProLint, for sure, anyway.
