So, I have a file which contains a number of PL/SQL
procedure and function definitions which look like this:
procedure x (x in varchar2,
y in number) is
BEGIN
...
END;
function m (z in number) is
BEGIN
...
END;
And what I would like to do is create a "package header" file.
That is a file which contains the function declaration,
including its arguments. Like so:
procedure x (x in varchar2,
y in number);
function m (z in number);
If someone could remedy my pathetic, pathologically
uninformed desparate hack below, I would appreciate it.
#!/arudev/bin/perl
use strict;
my $file = shift or die "must supply body file";
open F, $file;
my $text = join '', <F>;
my $regex = '(procedure|function).*?\(.*?\)';
while ($text =~ /$regex/gs) {
print "*$1*",$/;
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
