Is there an online CGI-script or a tool of some sort that I can use to parse my .cpp (or .c .h) files into nice looking HTML files? In other words: I have a list of .cpp files that I update every week. I want to link to them using something like: http://www.convert.com/convert.cgi http://www.mysite.com/myfile.cpp So if I click on them - I get a nice coloured output. How do I say this? Is this clear enough? Do you know an online script like this? I dont need source or how to make them, I just want a link... Edited by - baskuenen on 11/6/00 9:06:25 PM

Hmm, that wouldn''t be to hard to implement with Perl. I dont know of any CGI''s but its possible there are. Maybe ill try making something like that, if I get something like that to work, ill inform you.

Thanks - I would greatly appreciate that!

If you do, I can really use that and I think there will be more programmers that can also!

I would sure use something like this

It would be helpful in maintaining a web site with updates to what has changed and what not. Plus, I could be easier to look at and can also be used for post''s on here so people can put up their entire code in a nice organized way

Hrm, well, I got most of it done. I can probably finish it by tommorow for you guys(around 10:00 EST), just bug test it on your sites. Right now, i gotta go to bed.

If ImmaGNUMan doesnt get it done, I could easily do one.

I could (with a little effort) get one that does nice color coding for sections between quotation marks, and sections in comments.

If you are interested in parsing a cpp file to break it up into various tokens, on my site there is a regular expression parser I wrote in cpp...

just tell it to go thru a bunch of expressions until it finds one that works and then because you know what expression it matched, you can color code it.

ex: "0x"(D|"A"|"B"|"C"|"D"|"E"|"F")*

would match any hexadecimal number specified as 0x123AB (for example). The letters A to F may also have to be specified in lowwer case too unless you did a little modification to my code.

just a thought

Whaow! I''m amazed how simple you guys approach this!

Colouring keywords, strings and defines would be good enough for me

If you get this working perfectly - You got my respect

It really isn''t that difficult. I would have to get myself up-to-date with CGI, but I think it would be fairly easy also...

IF we get it to work, we must also have a server that accepts this script type and is always online - even after a few years! If not, all the links made with this tool, would go wrong.

If you dont have a good server yet - I can ask my host CFXweb if they can put it up? If you are interrested? I dont know what kind of scripts they accept.

But I'm getting way ahead of things...

If u can''t get this, I have a tool that converts c++,java, and delphi to html. Let me know if u want it
