C Code Quoted in C Code

This is how you convert C source code (or any other ASCII text) into strings in C using Shell.

make(1) rules:

all: verbatim.h

verbatim.h: txt2cs.sed def.h sim.c
	printf '#define %s \\\n%s\n\n' >$*.tmp \
		INDEF "$$(sed -f txt2cs.sed def.h)"
	printf '#define %s \\\n%s\n' >>$*.tmp \
		INSIM "$$(sed -f txt2cs.sed sim.c)"
	mv $*.tmp $@

clean:
	-rm -fr verbatim.h *.tmp

sed(1) script:

s/\\/\\\\/g
s/"/\\"/g
s/	/\\t/g

$!s/^\(.*\)$/	"\1\\n" \\/
$s/^\(.*\)$/	"\1\\n"/

( Output )
