Hello There.
You might look at Regexp::Common for help, it has an ability to match
balanced parentheses.
But I suspect that it will be easily confused by comments and strings inside
the C code. For example:
void f() {
/* { */
print "xyz { xyz \n";
}
So I can only recommend a do-it-yourself. Parse the file char by char, and a
simple state machine can solve your problem.
Shmuel.
