Re: Give me your strings.

:... I'm looking for an executable that knows enough C
:(or Pascal, ...) syntax to isolate string constants, and echo them out
:to a file (possibly stdout).




What about a simple lex program: string.lex


--------------------------------------------------------
string \"([^"\n]|\\["\n])*\"
%%
{string} printf("%s\n", yytext); return(1);
\n ;
. ;
%%
main()
{
int i;


while(i= yylex())
;
}


yywrap()
{
}
------------------------------------------------------------
to run just:
lex string.lex
cc lex.yy.c -o string
string < *.c
[I'd make it a little bit smarter to handle character constants and
comments, but in general that's the right idea. -John]
