Hi i have the following problem that i want do solve with
Matahematica:

For example i have this Input:

Calculation = ( ( a * b ) + ( c + d ) / e ) / f * Cos[g]

What i could do by solving this calculation on a piece of paper is to
calculate the problem in the following order :

First step:
1a: a * b = S1a
1b: c + d =S1b
1c: Cos[g] = S1c

Second step:
2a: S1b / e = S2a

Third step:
3a: S1a + S2a = S3a

Fourth step:
4a: S3a * S1c = S4a

Fifth step:
5a: S4a / f = FINISED


What i want to get from mathematica with the function i don't have jet
is a list with all the calculations in every step:

The output I need from Mathematica:

Input: function[Calculation]

Output:
{{{"1a", a, b, Times}, {"1b", c, d, Plus}, {"1c", g, Cos}}, {"2a",
  S1b, e, Divide}, {"3a", S1a, S2a, Plus}, {"4a", S3a, S1c,
  Times}, {"5a", S4a, f, Divide}}

Many of you will think .. Mathematica does this for you why do you
need this???
Or hey this is so easy :)

I need this function to export VHDL code for implementing these
calculations directly into hardware. And computer engineering was only
a subsidiary subject in my study.


With the Mathematica function Level[] i get something that is near to
that what i want...
Level[Calculation , Infinity, Heads -> True]

But it is still far away from what i need. Becaus this is a problem
that has been solved many times in every computer it should be easy to
find a algorythm or a tool that can do this for me.
