[RESOLVED] Visual Studio Regex Replace Line That Starts WIth A Letter.
Hello!
I have something like this with thousands of comments (#)
Code:
# The MAX_INITIALIZER_LINES tag determines the maximum number of lines that the
# initial value of a variable or macro / define can have for it to appear in the
# documentation. If the initializer consists of more lines than specified here
# it will be hidden. Use a value of 0 to hide initializers completely. The
# appearance of the value of individual variables and macros / defines can be
# controlled using \showinitializer or \hideinitializer command in the
# documentation regardless of this setting.
# Minimum value: 0, maximum value: 10000, default value: 30.
MAX_INITIALIZER_LINES = 30
# Set the SHOW_USED_FILES tag to NO to disable the list of files generated at
# the bottom of the documentation of classes and structs. If set to YES, the
# list will mention the files that were used to generate the documentation.
# The default value is: YES.
SHOW_USED_FILES = YES
# Set the SHOW_FILES tag to NO to disable the generation of the Files page. This
# will remove the Files entry from the Quick Index and from the Folder Tree View
# (if specified).
# The default value is: YES.
SHOW_FILES = YES
# Set the SHOW_NAMESPACES tag to NO to disable the generation of the Namespaces
# page. This will remove the Namespaces entry from the Quick Index and from the
# Folder Tree View (if specified).
# The default value is: YES.
SHOW_NAMESPACES = YES
# The FILE_VERSION_FILTER tag can be used to specify a program or script that
# doxygen should invoke to get the current version for each file (typically from
# the version control system). Doxygen will invoke the program by executing (via
# popen()) the command command input-file, where command is the value of the
# FILE_VERSION_FILTER tag, and input-file is the name of an input file provided
# by doxygen. Whatever the program writes to standard output is used as the file
# version. For an example see the documentation.
FILE_VERSION_FILTER =
# The LAYOUT_FILE tag can be used to specify a layout file which will be parsed
# by doxygen. The layout file controls the global structure of the generated
# output files in an output format independent way. To create the layout file
# that represents doxygen's defaults, run doxygen with the -l option. You can
# optionally specify a file name after the option, if omitted DoxygenLayout.xml
# will be used as the name of the layout file.
#
# Note that if you run doxygen from a directory containing a file called
# DoxygenLayout.xml, doxygen will parse it automatically even if the LAYOUT_FILE
# tag is left empty.
LAYOUT_FILE =
# The CITE_BIB_FILES tag can be used to specify one or more bib files containing
# the reference definitions. This must be a list of .bib files. The .bib
# extension is automatically appended if omitted. This requires the bibtex tool
# to be installed. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX for more info.
# For LaTeX the style of the bibliography can be controlled using
# LATEX_BIB_STYLE. To use this feature you need bibtex and perl available in the
# search path. See also \cite for info how to create references.
CITE_BIB_FILES =
I want to remove all the lines that start with the character #. I'm new in regular expresions and I can't find a way of doing this even after I read Visual Studio, using regular expressions
Re: Visual Studio Regex Replace Line That Starts WIth A Letter.
I can't help with regex, but as you have asked this question in a c++ forum, a possible c++ code solution would be:
Code:
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstring>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (argc != 3)
return cerr <<"Format is:\n" << argv[0] << " infilename outfilename\n", 1;
if (!strcmp(argv[1], argv[2]))
return cerr << "Input file name and output file name must be different\n", 2;
ifstream ifs(argv[1]);
if (!ifs.is_open())
return cerr << "Cannot open input file " << argv[1] << endl, 3;
ofstream ofs(argv[2]);
if (!ofs.is_open())
return cerr << "Cannot open output file " << argv[2] << endl, 4;
for (string line; getline(ifs, line); )
if (!line.empty() && (line.front() != '#'))
ofs << line << "\n";
}
This takes 2 arguments as file names. The first is the input file containing the comments and the second is the output file without the comments. Given the sample in post #1 as file comm.txt,
Code:
c:\MyProgs>test12 comm.txt comm1.txt
c:\MyProgs>type comm1.txt
MAX_INITIALIZER_LINES = 30
SHOW_USED_FILES = YES
SHOW_FILES = YES
SHOW_NAMESPACES = YES
FILE_VERSION_FILTER =
LAYOUT_FILE =
CITE_BIB_FILES =
comm1.txt contains the input less the lines starting with #.
Re: Visual Studio Regex Replace Line That Starts WIth A Letter.
Sorry, I thought because these topics are about visual c++, it would be a good place to ask about visual studio. Anyway, creating your own program to do that (as you mentioned) seems a good solution (I'm such a fan of VS that I didn't thought of creating my own program that does what i want). But if someone else know's how to do that using visual studio I would like to know.

What language are you using?
c, c++, c++/cli, c#, f#, vb.net - other?

c++
I also found the solution I was looking for (below is the regular expression):
This will replace any text that starts with # and contains any other character except the new line.
The last asterisk means that if there is text that contains only # and nothing else, take it into account too.
