Perl - Pattern contains new line -


i trying grab functions c file in perl script.

pattern example :

function return type   function name (function parameters)   {   

so far have: m/^(.*)\((.*)\)/

but grabs functions inside well, such if statements, hoping match { since eliminate internal functions m/^(.*)\((.*)\)/\n\{/ doesn't work.

how match \n{ i.e { in next line, can catch

add(int a, int b)   {   

... avoid, say

if(a = b)   

there no asterisks want match in c source. therefore, remove backslashes before asterisks in pattern.

the following might closer want:

m/^(.*?\(.*?\))\s*\n{/m
