Hi ,

I wanted to write a awk/sed command to (literally)swap two paramaters
of a functions .
So for eg :
func_foo(param1, param2 , param3 , param4, param5);
should be func_foo(param1, param2, param4, param3 , param5);

Here is my simple awk command file "mycmnd.awk":

BEGIN { RS=";" ; FS ="," }
        /func_foo\(/{
        print $1 "," $2 "," $4 "," $3 "," $5 ";" }
        
my invocation was
awk -f mycmnd.awk $filename > output.txt

The only problem I have is that only my function with swapped params
shows up. How can I get the contents of the whole .c file in my output
with the appropriate changes.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
V
