I'm using p9p's acme, and I would like to take a piece of code and change, for example this:

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

For this:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{

So, for doing that, I thought about using some regexps and the Edit command.

I would like to work with some generic regexp, so I wrote the following:

Edit , x/^[^ ]+[ ]*[^(]*\([^)]*\)[ ]*\{[ ]*$/ s/[ ]*{[ ]*$/\n{/g

By the man, the x command, under sam(1) does execute the command after the x. Also, we

have to use \n, instead of a real newline.

AFAICT, these two commands work, separatedly. Using the first one prints me the whole

set of function definitions, and using the s// when selecting the line that holds something like:

blah blah (blah blah) {

Does indeed change that for:

blah blah (blah blah)

{

But when used together, this command doesn't work. Could please someone provide 

me with some insight on why this doesn't work? Thanks a lot.

(Sorry for the blah)
