Changing the input file isn't the way to go. What you need to do is read the input and interpret the contents acting on what you read. The psuedo code might be something like this:

Code:
function add
   echo $1 + $2

function sub
   echo $1 - $2

function printit
   echo $@

while read line from file
do
   case token_1 in 
        digit)   
             if token_2 is + 
                 call add token_1 token_3
             else if token_2 is -
                 call sub token_1 token_3
             end

        'print')   call printit tokens[2-n]

        quit)    exit
   end
done

Hopes this gets started.

fixadd(3alleg4) 						  Allegro manual						   fixadd(3alleg4)

NAME
fixadd - Safe function to add fixed point numbers clamping overflow. Allegro game programming library. SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h> fixed fixadd(fixed x, fixed y); DESCRIPTION
Although fixed point numbers can be added with the normal '+' integer operator, that doesn't provide any protection against overflow. If overflow is a problem, you should use this function instead. It is slower than using integer operators, but if an overflow occurs it will set `errno' and clamp the result, rather than just letting it wrap. Example: fixed result; /* This will put 5035 into `result'. */ result = fixadd(itofix(5000), itofix(35)); /* Sets `errno' and puts -32768 into `result'. */ result = fixadd(itofix(-31000), itofix(-3000)); ASSERT(!errno); /* This will fail. */ RETURN VALUE
Returns the clamped result of adding `x' to `y', setting `errno' to ERANGE if there was an overflow. SEE ALSO
