Personally I would like to remove the tabs so that grepping is easier and more obvious. But the tabbing is there since the #ifdef'ing goes three levels deep. Use Perl instead of grep. print if /#\s*define/. Or learn how to spell "whitespace" in whatever godforsaken flavor of grep you're using.

I just need to come up with a simple Python script that gives you basic grep functionality using Python regex engine since I have that syntax memorized (which, I know, is just Perl regex syntax).

Or upgrade to Windows and buy Source Insight .

=) I have used enough Windows lately. Ugh. COM is just evil.

Or ... just don't damage the readability of the code to cater to bad tools.

Yeah, I am not going to touch the file.
