yeah, that's true it's matching the whole file. but the reason i used
it is to
match a new line char. the following are possible c function
declarations.
type_name fun_name(type_name p1);
type_name
fun_name(type_name p1);
type_name fun_name (type_name p1, type_name p2);
e
the trick is there can be any no.of parameters are no parameters at
all
and there can be a line break anywhere after a valid c token.
I think the regular expression in plain english is
"
any string with, sequence of characters followed by one or more spaces
followed by a "(" and
sequence of characters includeing "," or "_" followed by a ");"
"
