flexible sed command needed to handle multiple input types
Hello, I need a smart sed command that can take any of the following two as an input and give below mentioned output. As you can see, I am trying to convert some C code

INPUT:
struct abc_sample1 {
char myString[32];
UINT16 myValue1[10];
UINT64 myValue2;
};

typedef struct {
char myString[32];
UINT16 myValue1[10];
UINT64 myValue2;
} abc_sample1;


OUTPUT:

ABC_DataDesc_T abc_sample1_desc[] = {
char myString[32];
UINT16 myValue1[10];
UINT64 myValue2;
};


Thanks a bunch

This is a candidate for lex & yacc if you need to do a lot of it. .
Code:
awk ' BEGIN {found=0;
             keep=""
             abc_found=0;
             replacement=sprintf("%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n",
                       "ABC_DataDesc_T abc_sample1_desc[] = {",
	                   "char myString[32];",
	                   "UINT16 myValue1[10];",
	                   "UINT64 myValue2;", 
	                   "};" )
              }
       {       
       if( index($0, "}")> 0 && found==1 ){       
       	   if($0 ~ /abc_sample1/) {abc_found=1} 
           if(abc_found==1) { print replacement }
           else          {printf"%s%s\n", keep, $0}
           keep=""
           found=0
           abc_found=0
           continue
       }
       if($0 ~ /struct/ ){ found=1 }
       if($0 ~ /abc_sample1/) {abc_found=1}
       if(found==1) { keep=sprintf("%s%s\n", keep, $0) }
       else         {print $0}  
       }  ' filename.c

Thanks a lot for your input and code. As I see following two inputs

Input pattern is
^.*struct $1 { multi-line structure } $2;

Output is
ABC_DataDesc_T $1/$2_desc { multi-line structure };

where
1. only one out of $1 and $2 is non-empty
2. Anything before string "struct" (including struct) is replaced by a static string ABC_DataDesc_T (sorry about the confusing name, which made it look that it depends on name of struct)
3. everything between multi-line matching braces { } need to remain intact.
4. ; at the end

I will see if I can figure out lex/yacc
