Hi,
I need sed to do something which sounds simple, but I can't figure out the right command. All I need to do is insert a blank after a '}' at the end of a line if the next line begins immediately afterwards (i.e. with no blank line between).
//abc.cpp : int myclass::fx(int * arg) { if(! (isValid())) { return -1; } return ptr->fx(arg); } //what-i-want.cpp : int myclass::fx(int * arg) { if(! (isValid())) { return -1; } return ptr->fx(arg); } The commands I have tried are : i) sed -e 's/\(}$\)\n\(^[[:space:]]*[[:alpha:]]\+\)/\1\n\n\2/' \ <abc.cpp >what-i-want.cpp ii) sed -e 's/\(}$\)\(^[[:space:]]*[[:alpha:]]\+\)/\1\n\2/' \ <abc.cpp >what-i-want.cpp but obviously neither works, which is why posting this message. Can anybody please tell me what the correct command would be like ? Thank you & -- Regards Manish Jain invalid.poin...@gmail.com +91-96500-10329 Laast year I kudn't spell Software Engineer.
