makefile-src-updater

You are a 42 network student and you are tired of typing your srcs manually ? This script will do it for you

Usage

1. curl the script into a folder containing a Makefile with a line containing $srcname

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lorenuars19/makefile-src-updater/master/update_srcs.sh -o update_srcs.sh && chmod 775 update_srcs.sh

2. curl this premade makefile

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lorenuars19/makefile-template/master/Makefile -o Makefile

3. run the script (it is interactive)

Warning

DO NOT REMOVE THE BACKUP FILE UNLESS YOU ARE SURE THAT YOU DON'T NEED IT ANYMORE, THIS SCRIPT REPLACES THE CONTENT OF YOUR FILE
I decline all responsibilities in case of any lose of any content.

Variables

Use these to tweak the script to your needs.

Variable	Usage
file='Makefile'	Makefile filename
bkpfile='.'$file'.bkp.in.case.something.goes.wrong'	Backup filename
SRCname='SRCS'	Pattern to look for in Makefile
SRCdir='src'	Srcs directory name
SRCfindptrn="**.c"	Find pattern
HEADERname='HEADERS'	Pattern to look for
HEADERdir='includes'	Headers directory name
HEADERfindptrn="**.h"	Find pattern

How it works

0. Check $file exists and make a backup
1. Find the line containing the $SRCname with grep
2. Split the file into two files $splitA & $splitB
3. Append result of find command within the $SRCdir matching $SRCfindptrn
4. Append result of find command within the $HEADERdir matching $HEADERfindptrn
5. Re-join the two splits into $file

I am far from an expert in shell scripting, there's likely better ways to implement it. So feel free to pull request, to upgrade and improve this script.
