So, if you want to use CodeWorker to modify C++ code based on a set of rules, you need a grammar for C++, which you don't supply :-( I can see the benefit of this tool, in that it would allow you to use Aspect-Orientated Programming in C++ by performing C++-to-C++ translations based on a set of rules, but someone has to write the grammar first. C++ is not an easy language to parse, so I don't fancy that job. Anthony -- Anthony Williams Senior Software Engineer, Beran Instruments Ltd.
