[Debasis Mishra]

i have a pro*c file which contains 6578 lines. From there i want to search a particular word and then i will do some change. So how i will do that?

Thanks for help.
But i have another problem. i.e., i have declare the variable like this in pro*c

int create_mailfile(int,char*,char*,char*,char*,char*,char*);
int system_stevens(const char* cmd);
char * trim (char *);
int sequel(void);
int db_connect(void);
int commit_tran(void);
int rollback_tran(void);
void efin_trace(const char*, ...);


But i am facing error.

Hi Debasis,

You can do with "vi". Edit your Pro*C file in VI, search for any string you want to change.

what are the errors you are getting? For search replacing in the same file use perl -pi -e 's/pattern/patterntochange/g/'

will do it.

Debasis,
what is the new error? I have added the main() function to your code and it compiles.
