Dear all,
This is version 6 of a script for all those people like me and Hajos who get lazy with adjusting the indentation manually as it should be (for readability of the script). Until now it works ok for our scripts. Have a try and test it. (To work correctly for hotstrings or hotkeys a space or comma has to be between the colon ":" and the action to be performed). We are open for suggestions. Please see also notes in the scripts header.



Happy scripting



Edit: 2005-02-26: (Fixed) If a rememberstring was last command in file without a newline, it wasn't put into the new file. (thanks ChrisM)

Edit: 2005-02-26: New: Changed the whole script. New Functionality, new Options, new Gui, two style options, option to use tabs or spaces, fixed some indentation for complex block structures.

Edit: 2005-03-03: Script now supports one-line if-statements.

Edit: 2005-03-07:
- Added new functionality: a)Case Correction, b) Gui remembers Position on screen
- Script name has changed to reflect these changes

Edit: 2005-03-09:
- Added new functionality: Gui remembers settings between sessions
- Hotkey has changed to F2
- Fixed: Indentation within a editor was damaged, due to `r`n at end of line (thanks AGU)
- Fixed: Indentation within a editor added additional ´n each time
- Improved speed (setbatchline)

Edit: 2005-06-06:
- Added indentation and casecorrection for functions (thanks to HJS)

Edit: 2005-06-09:
- Added indentation for continuation lines (thanks to HJS)
- Made Hajos a co-author

great start toralf! just don't stop here!!

next is applying proper case to commands and keywords... and the indentation needs some optional settings... like u use the first one here, and i use the second:





by the way mine has a real tab there..

Great script!



One problem I found:
If a script ends with 'return' and no newline after it - the 'return' never gets copied to the new file.

I tracked it down to the 'RememberString' variable. The last 'return' is stored in it but since there is no newline the Loop ends and that 'return' never gets added to the 'String' varialble.

To solve it I moved this section of code to the bottom of the Loop:



I believe this is safe because the first line in any script should always have
no indentation, so 'Indent' variable need only be set after the first line is read.

Thank you ChrisM,
You are right. I will update the fist post.

Here's a version that indents all text in an active editor window by hotstring Ctl-i
Braces may or maynot be indented as Rajat requested.
Works with hotkeys and hotstrings.

Problems:
- after all text is highlighted(ctl-a) sometimes the script takes a long time to return, the text in the window is left highlighted and vulnerable to deletion.
- with Wordpad every time the hotkey is pressed an empty newline is added to the end of the file. PSPad and Notepad do not have this problem.
- after indentation the cursor is always put to the end of the file. Would be better to put cursor back to the line number it was on when the hotkey was pressed, but this will probably be editor dependant.

I found two problems with my script. And it will most propably also happen with ChrisM Script, since it looks like he hasn't changed the indentation part.

Problem 1)
Indentation will be incorrect if there is a one-line if-statement in the code like

Problem 2)
There will be problems if the code doesn't use brackets with multiple inclded if-statements, e.g.


3)
And what is the correct indentaion of the following example? Chris can you please respond to this, it gives me some trouble:


Thanks.

I will not fix Problem 1. On problem two I'm working. And I hope to fix it when I understand 3. The current workaround is to use {} for every block (loops, ifs, etc.) even if they only have one line in the block.

Though, the code will work fine with

Here is what I think is the correct indentation. Please let me know if I'm correct or give help where the error is. Thanks

i think that the above is the optimum way.

Yes, I think that's the standard way to indent such an extreme example

I re-wrote the whole script, please see first post. Lot's of requests have been added and bugs fixed.
