I hope this is more readable.
Hi Experts,
My perl script reads every line in the java program. But i have a problem. If it is something like 
public void method1(String str1);

[download]
It is ok.. it reads the whole line in one shot. But if i have something like 
public void method1(String str1,
                         String str2);

[download]
Then it reads this sentence as two lines. My requirement is i need to comment this line using java comments . Using my script now it happpens as 
/*public void method1(String str1,*/
               String str2);

[download]
Here the second line also has to be commented. Is there any way by which i can solve this problem????????????
1)What i am doing is reading the file
2)iterating through each line.
3)check if the line starts with public
4)if so then comment that line
Zer, I hope u understood now.
