How to add macros as enums to IDA

ida_enums.md

copy the macros into atom, for example:

#define GET_FILE 1
#define PUT_FILE 2
#define RUNSHELL 3

Use atom and its regex find and replace to convert into a valid enum.

Here's the regex find and replace that works for this example:

#define (\S+)\s+(\S+)$

->

$1 = $2,

add in some brackets, a semicolon, and an enum declaration

enum  my_enum
{
GET_FILE = 1,
PUT_FILE = 2,
RUNSHELL = 3
};

Now you can either write this as a header file and load it using file -> load -> parse c header file or you can do it the 1337 way and head to the local types tab, press ctrl+i, and then just paste it in!
