USACO template

Tue, 04/27/2010 - 03:14 — strager

Entries for the USACO contests require a template header and some boilerplate code. To make things easier, I put boilerplate generation into a little script.

#!/bin/sh
 
FILENAME=$1
TASKNAME=$(echo "$1" | sed -e 's/\..*$//')
TEMPLATENAME=$(echo "$1" | sed -e 's/^.*\.//')
 
sed -e 's/#TASKNAME#/'"$TASKNAME/" < template."$TEMPLATENAME" > "$FILENAME"

Template files (e.g. template.c) look like this:

/*
ID: your_id_here
LANG: C
TASK: #TASKNAME#
*/
#define PROG "#TASKNAME#"
 
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main() {
    FILE *fin  = fopen(PROG ".in", "r");
    FILE *fout = fopen(PROG ".out", "w");
 
    return 0;
}

Just give the Bash script the name of the file you need and it will make the file with the appropriate language (based off the extension given) and task name.
