Hi, I take it that you are wanting to use these files with a compiler that doesn't support // syntax. Check with the compiler documentation first, sometimes they have a switch to enable c++ style comments. Alternatively you could use the sed command (available within FreeBSD) to convert all the // comments into /* comments. To convert a file: cat cfile.c sed "s/\(.*\)\/\/\(.*\)/\1 \/*\2 \*\//" > cfile.c.fixed Then: mv cfile.c.filed cfile.c I suggest you make backups of your c files before beginning this operation. If you have more than a few c files you'll probably want to script this operation. Regards Jason ==================================================================== Jason Taylor. Kanda Systems Ltd.
