Tips needed - How do I match the "{" with "}"

[2005]

Hi

How do I match the "{" with "}"
This is to math the loop begin and end.

There is a command/short cut (say ALT F5) I used but I forgot.

Thanks

You press % - which also works for ( ) and [ ] of course.

(I presume you're using vim, like any sensible C programmer.)

I dare say you could map ALT F5 to it if you wanted.

if cscope is enabled u can use SHIFT+5 ,

Caution : before going to use this make some comment and in comment
add { or }

for(somecode)
{

code
/*

some code
} <--this is commented

*/
code
}

now try to match the { after for.

this is d point required in mind while you are debugging complex code.

You use strcspn() or strbrk() to find the '{'s and '}'s, and you use a
stack construct (either indirectly, through recursion, or directly,
using, say, a linked list) to determine which '}' belongs to which '{'.
If you want to know how, the simplest way of figuring out an algorithm
is, as so often, to sit down behind a piece of paper, copy down a random
formula with such brackets in it, and observe how you yourself match
them up.

ISO C does not guarantee that you even have Alt or F5 keys, let alone
that you can read them.

You're asking about some specific editor (and you haven't told us
which one), not about the C language.

Smackin' the newbies, day after day.

It's still not about the portable standard C language, which is the
subject of this newsgroup, and thus is off-topic here. You want a
group with the words Visual or Microsoft in its name.

The moment you have to be specific about a compiler, editor,
linker, etc. it is off topic here.

Ok, so you'll need to ask in a forum where they discuss Visual Studio
6 EE.
