Hallo

I am trying to convert a .h to pascal with h2pas. The header file contains many declarations with lines of 400 characters or longer. h2pas creates the *.tmp.h file with all the code intact but the .pas file's lines are cut off at 256 characters. Is there an easy way around this problem, ie not manually changing the .h file?

I guess patching h2pas for this is the right thing to do, but as a workaround you can always run `indent` over the h file first to chop the lines.

Thanks, I will try that.

Ok, I've tried indent and it doesn't do the job because the comments are also 400 chars long.

I also tried to add {$H+} to the top of h2pas.pas but the solution is not that easy.

If someone could give me a pointer of where to start, maybe I can try to fix it. For starters, what is the yacc and lex files for?

Ok, I've tried indent and it doesn't do the job because the comments are also 400 chars long. From indent man page:

-ln, --line-lengthn
Set maximum line length for non-comment lines to n. See BREAKING LONG LINES.
-lcn, --comment-line-lengthn
Set maximum line length for comment formatting to n. See COMMENTS.

indent can only add or delete whitespace. Comments that start with // and extend beyond the -lcn limit are left alone.
