in reply to Re^2: simple C checking script
in thread S simple C checking script
I fear you will never get a solution that extracts all c-files, and no others... no matter how hard you work.
That's why you should spend more time with your friend first (as suggested by GrandFather):
- how fault-tolerant should your solution be? (e.g. a 90%-detection-rate might be fine)
- is it more desirable to have false positives (files wrongly classified being in C) of false negatives (C files that have been missed)?
- what is the environment (how likely are people using "wrong" extensions, e.g. a perl-script in a .c-file)
- how fast should your solution be? (e.g. is it acceptable to do a lot of plausi-checks on that hundreds of 20-MB-.cpp-files to ensure that none of them is in reality C?)
