Hi Ken,

Thanks for the feedback, I would incorporate it while posting questions.

The Code which I had posted is the partial code/sub routine code which is used, and the reason why the strict and warnings are missing.

Some things like autodie and FILE2, i would incorporate in my present code

In a single line the problem statement is:

"how do I parse the data which spans multiple lines."

More about about the question, I am writing a parser for c/c++ functions in the perl, which can detect the c/c++ functions which are spanning multiple lines, as in example

Function declared in multiple lines

NS_IMETHOD HandleEvent(nsPresContext* aPresContext, 
                         nsGUIEvent* aEvent,
                         nsEventStatus* aEventStatus);

Function declared in Single Line

nsHTMLFramesetFrame::nsHTMLFramesetFrame(nsStyleContext* aContext)
[download]

The code I posted in my earlier post is able to parse the functions declared in a single line, but fails to detect the functions declared in multiple lines.

I need help in modifying the perl code to parse multiple line functions in a .cpp /.c file
