removing < > from headers

Hi,

I need remove the < and > part of header includes and replace with " and "

eg- #include <tchar.h> to #include "tchar.h"

There are so many files. can anybody give me idea how i can do this?

thanks

A text editor/IDE might be able to perform a global search and replace using regular expressions. Alternatively, perhaps a shell script could be written to do the job.

I think notepad++ can do this. Not really a c++ question through.

Don't do this.
Header includes that have <> instead of "" tell the compiler to look first in the locations where system header files are.
You should leave the code alone.

If I remember correctly "not first"

<> looks in include folders only
"" looks in current folder first, next in include folders

Yes useful if someone made their own customized versionsof standard headers. Good to keep those out of the standard search paths.

Modifying system headers, or even making copies of them and modifying them and using those instead of the regular system headers is not recommended in the first place.
