[ILUG] Parsing script...

[Peter Aherne]

Hi,

I stuck on yet another scripting problem. After much expermentation and
googling I'm still nowhere. Here is the problem, I want a script to turn
this :

for(i=0;i<16;i++)
{
 statement block
}

into this :

Statement block;
Statement block;
Statement block;
..
..

The major problem I have is also the fact that the { may appear on the
same line as the for and also the for could be split over mulitple
lines. Anyone have any idea of the best way to do this, what should it
be written in? Any pointers to a good reference for this sort of thing
would do. In case anyone is wondering why in the name of god I would
want to do this the statements in the for loop are being converted into
XML.

Cheers,
Peter.
