Re: Text Wrapping

You can certainly do it in Perl but why bother? Google for 'pretty print C++' to find all sort of ready made solutions. Like http://www.softpanorama.org/Tools/beautifiers.shtml Here is one in C++ ASBeautifier.cpp

Perl has all sorts of great pre rolled libraies with amazing coverage at the CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Nework) http://cpan.org For example there is Text::Wrap but I would go with a C++ pre-coded beutifier unless you want to have a fun and useful Perl project to tool around with. You may like stuff like Inline:CPP which will let you embed C++ into your Perl so you can mix and match.

Thanks Tachyon! I explored the option (as suggested by you) to use a C++ pre coded beautifier and I discovered the following: 1) I am unable to get the ENTIRE source code for ASBeautifier and get some obvious compiler errors because of missing source code. 2) From the link here: http://www.softpanorama.org/Tools/beautifiers.shtml , I checked out the program namely: Artistic Style 1.13.8 but from the options provided, I ascertain that this program is only for formatting and indentation and these do meet my requirements as well BUT I dont see how I could use this for a specific objective that I have in mind: "The length of each line of code (that can be compiled by a standard C++ compiler) must NOT exceed 78 characters" Maybe I need to play around a bit with this program in order to get the desired results or maybe add my own code to get this feature going. Have you used the program?	[reply]

It is on source forge, now called astyle which contains ASBeautifier plus all the headers and docs. http://sourceforge.net/projects/astyle Try compiling it and running it on some of your code, you may be pleasantly surprised (aka it manages line lengths automatically)..... `Release Notes In Artistic Style 0.9.2 (24 November 1998) Fixed a serious bug which led to a maximal supported source code line +size of 128 characters!!!` [download] :-) cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply] [d/l]

ASBeautifier.cpp is just _one_ sourcefile of a package. Of course you cannot compile it without the whole AStyle class. Go to the download section of the site and get the whole thing.	[reply]
