Hello!
In case you forgot to read
the forum rules, here is quick copy.
Quote:
RULES OF THE UNIX AND LINUX FORUMS
(1) No flames, shouting (all caps), sarcasm, bullying, profanity or arrogant posts.
(2) No negative comments about others or impolite remarks. Be patient.
(3) Refrain from idle chatter that does not contribute to the knowledge base. This does not apply to the forums in The Unix Lounge which are for off-topic discussions.
(4) Do not 'bump up' questions if they are not answered promptly. No duplicate or cross-posting and do not report a post or send a private message where your goal is to get an answer more quickly.
(5) Search the forums database with your keywords before asking.
(6) Do not post classroom or homework problems.
(7) No job postings from headhunters or recruiters except in The Unix Forums Job Board. See How to Post to The UNIX Forums Job Board for information on using the Job Board.
(8) No BSD vs. Linux vs. Windows or similar threads.
(9) Edit your posts if you see spelling or grammar errors (don't write in cyberchat or cyberpunk style). English only.
(10) Don't post your email address and ask for an email reply. Don't send a private message with a technical question. The forums are for the benefit of all, so all Q&A should take place in the forums.
(11) Post questions with descriptive subjects. For example, do not post questions with subjects like "Help Me!", "Urgent!!" or "Doubt". Post subjects like "Execution Problems with Cron" or "Help with Backup Shell Script".
(12) These are not hacker boards so hacker related posts will be promptly deleted or moderated.
(13) The forum administrators reserve the right to prune, move or edit posts that do not adhere to the rules or are technically inaccurate.
(14) The forum administrators reserve the right to remove users or change their posting status to read only without notice if any rules are not followed.
(15) No smoking in the forums.
Cheers.

preprocess
PREPROCESS(1) General Commands Manual PREPROCESS(1)
NAME
preprocess - Preprocess a file.
SYNOPSIS
preprocess [options...] infile
DESCRIPTION
Preprocess is like a typical C preprocessor, but it extends to multiple languages. Languages for which it works include: C++, Python, Perl,
Tcl, XML, JavaScript, CSS, IDL, TeX, Fortran, PHP, Java, Shell scripts (Bash, CSH, etc.) and C#. Preprocess is usable both as a command
line app and as a Python module.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Print help text and exit.
-V, --version
Print the version info and exit.
-v, --verbose
Give verbose output for errors.
-o outfile
Write output to the given file instead of to stdout.
-f, --force
Overwrite given output file. Otherwise an IOError will be raised if outfile already exists.
-D define
Define a variable for preprocessing. define can simply be a variable name (in which case it will be true) or it can be of the form
var=val. An attempt will be made to convert val to an integer so "-D FOO=0" will create a false value.
-I dir Add a directory to the include path for #include directives.
-k, --keep-lines
Emit empty lines for preprocessor statement lines and skipped output lines. This allows line numbers to stay constant.
-s, --substitute
Substitute defines into emitted lines. By default substitution is NOT done because it currently will substitute into program
strings.
MODULE USAGE
from preprocess import preprocess
preprocess(infile, outfile=sys.stdout, defines={}, force=0,
keepLines=0, includePath=[], substitute=0)
The <infile> can be marked up with special preprocessor statement lines of the form:
<comment-prefix> <preprocessor-statement> <comment-suffix>
where the <comment-prefix/suffix> are the native comment delimiters for that file type.
EXAMPLES
HTML (*.htm, *.html) or XML (*.xml, *.kpf, *.xul) files:
<!-- #if FOO -->
...
<!-- #endif -->
Python (*.py), Perl (*.pl), Tcl (*.tcl), Ruby (*.rb), Bash (*.sh), or make ([Mm]akefile*) files:
# #if defined('FAV_COLOR') and FAV_COLOR == "blue"
...
# #elif FAV_COLOR == "red"
...
# #else
...
# #endif
C (*.c, *.h), C++ (*.cpp, *.cxx, *.cc, *.h, *.hpp, *.hxx, *.hh), Java (*.java), PHP (*.php) or C# (*.cs) files:
// #define FAV_COLOR 'blue'
...
/* #ifndef FAV_COLOR */
...
// #endif
Fortran 77 (*.f) or 90/95 (*.f90) files:
C #if COEFF == 'var'
...
C #endif
PREPROCESSOR SYNTAX
Valid statements:
#define <var> [<value>]
#undef <var>
#ifdef <var>
#ifndef <var>
#if <expr>
#elif <expr>
#else
#endif
#error <error string>
#include "<file>"
where <expr> is any valid Python expression.
The expression after #if/elif may be a Python statement. It is an error to refer to a variable that has not been defined by a -D option or
by an in-content #define.
Special built-in methods for expressions:
defined(varName) Return true if given variable is defined.
TIPS
A suggested file naming convention is to let input files to preprocess be of the form <basename>.p.<ext> and direct the output of prepro-
cess to <basename>.<ext>, e.g.:
preprocess -o foo.py foo.p.py
The advantage is that other tools (esp. editors) will still recognize the unpreprocessed file as the original language.
