String replace in text file Topic is solved

[Ugly!]

Hello wx people.
I'm making a code generator tool, and i have created for this .cpp and .h templates (not as in c++ templates). Where i want to replace certain string by others:
ie:

Code: Select all

Replace(wxT("%%CLASSNAME%%"),m_className));

I will also need to replace by a multiline string: ie:

Code: Select all

Replace(wxT("%%FOOCODE%%"),wxT("a=b;\nb=c;\n"));

So, my quiestion is, what is the best way to open a text file and replace this strings, and save it again.

Use regular expressions on buffers of text. If line by line is enough, just read in a line of text from the file and apply the regular expression(s) to it.

Would i have to apply the replacements to each line???

How would i do this? (some example code maybe... ) Isn't there a way to load the file in a string, Replace on the whole string with ReplaceAll= true??? I would use wxRegEx or the Replace method of wxString, is the same for my case.

But i would not like to do this on a line by line way.

wxFFile::ReadAll() can read a whole file into a wxString

wxFFile::ReadAll() can read a whole file into a wxString

Oops, i totally missed that one . I've always thought that wxFile and wxFFile were basecly the same...beeing the main the diference the eof method.

Well, I'll try this and go from here, i ll post some code for a finish concept.

Thanks, Mat
