El siguiente ejemplo le muestra cómo se sustituyen las palabras clave de un archivo plantilla en el archivo resultado.

// Test file for SubWCRev

char *Revision      = "$WCREV$";
char *Revision16    = "$WCREV&0xFF$";
char *Revisionp100  = "$WCREV+100$";

Después de ejecutar SubWCRev.exe ruta\a\la\copia\de\trabajo fichprueba.tmpl fichprueba.txt, el archivo de salida fichprueba.txt se parecería a esto:
