Six months ago, I would have written this in Perl or Ruby. But if you look at the part that does the work, it's only 4 lines long --- 8 if you count the subservient ls/awk script --- which doesn't qualify as "more complex" in my mind. I guess I could use find2perl to prototype the Perl expressions I'm interested in, though ISTR you take about a 20% performance hit by going through Perl (not a big deal here).

FWIW, I save the output from this program, then from vi I execute another script that picks out the source file I want and prints its full path, as in

Code:

:e `findfile zzz.c`

It took me a while to understand what the vi intro doc meant when it said that arguments to ":e" are passed to the shell for expansion before trying to edit the file. But I think I've got it now ...

SHAPE_STDVAR(7) 					 Miscellaneous Information Manual					   SHAPE_STDVAR(7)

NAME

       shape_stdvar - shapeTools RMS project wide variant definitions

DESCRIPTION

       This  file  contains common variant definitions to be used in a software development project supported by the shape release management sys-
       tem. The stdvar file defines a variant raster for a whole development project. This central definition  facility  unifies  the  naming  and
       semantics of supported system variants.

       Stdvar  is  to be included into the Shapefiles of any part of the developed system via shape's include mechanism. The definitions in stdvar
       should be carefully designed and maintained for each supported project. They usually concern variant  control  for  all	hardware/operating
       system platforms to be supported or variant settings to produce different qualities of generated code (debug or optimized).

       Enclosed  in  the shapeTools distribution, you find the stdvar file used in the development of the shape toolkit itself. This may be a good
       starting point for developing an own variant raster. At least, it helps you learning the definition syntax. Otherwise, for a description on
       the syntax of variant definition parts see the shape(1) manual.
