continue;

}

found = lineString.find("/*## attribute");

if (found != string::npos)

{

size_t len = lineString.size();

lineString.replace(found,len - found, "    /* some declaration */");

}


fileString += lineString + '\n';

}

in.close();

ofstream out(filename, ios::ate );
out.seekp(ios::beg);
out << fileString;
out.close();

}

}

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {

char fileName[80];
string newTypesPkg;

if ( argc > 1 ) {

strcpy (fileName, argv[1] );

process(fileName , newTypesPkg);

} else {

printf ("Missing arguments\n");

}

return 0;

}


You will need to convert the above code to an executable using any C++ IDE [say Microsoft Visual Studio 6] and use the same in the property CG::File::InvokePostProcessor
