Hi there, I need to convert non-standard C struct data into standard C struct. I want change the data to have the format which is like a C struct. Here is the data, for example:

_____________________________________________

mm struct 
  a = 1
  b = 3
  m1 struct =
    c = 4
    d = 5
__________________________________________

I want to change the data to:

_____________________________________________
mm struct { 
  a = 1;
  b = 3;
  m1 struct = {
    c = 4;
    d = 5;
  }
}
_________________________________________________

This is my code:

sub change_to_normal {
  my $str = shift;
  my $find = "(.*)=(.*)";
  my $replace = '"$1 = $2;"';
  $str =~ s/$find/$replace/eeg;    #add ;
   
  my $replace = '"$1 = \{"';       #add {
  $str =~ s/(.*)=\s*;/$replace/eeg;
}

Now I have the problem with how to add the corresponding "}". Can any one helps? Thanks!
