strbind
strbind - lapidary text converter for translate an text file to the C-style string. My motivation is fast adding large text chunks to the C code
Usage
Transform your text with python strbind.py --from=
List of possible arguments:
- --from - File with original content
- --to - Target file. Text will be written in the original file, when --to argument are not used
- --arr - To add const char array syntax. The argument value is array name
- --def - To add preprocessor definition syntax. The argument value is definition name
- --end - String end (LF/lf or CRLF/crlf). LF by default
