A possible solution to the problem *could* be :

1) I use the same method I use now to create a tokenzied sorta intermediate file from the header file complete with all the information that I need to be able to furnish a class declaration and a class definition.Call this File A

Use File A as an input file to further process the tokens etc and produce another file that has tags/tokens whatever else that I need for stuff like:

-function names

-function params

return values

3)Use File B and parse each token to get File C. While priting out File C, I check for the length of the line being printed (to the file) and if the length exceeds 78 characters, I insert a newline to move to the next line.

Possible problems that I encounter or envisage I will encouter are:

1) Within functions etc, one normally indents the code, so also in if/for code blocks, so when Im processing a string of tokens that I know is ised for a function definition, after I move to a newline, i SHOULD also print out a tab to preserve the formatting

This is all I can think of at the moment and I am rather confused by all this. I thought it was an easy problem to begin with , but.....:(
