Configurable source code beautifier for FB

[vpdura]

Does any know of a configurable source code beautifier for Free Basic? I'm looking for something where the user can set the degree of indentation, etc.; something like INDENT for C source code.

Thanks

You should have put a '?' on the end of that :P I thought you had one to show ;)

Anyways, no one has written one in this community that I know of. It would be a great addition.

Yeah, lol, I thought there was going to be a program here too...

fbide has it.

View->format

You can change case, generate html and do automatic indent.

Garvan O'Keefe wrote a FreeBASIC code formatting utility many moons ago. The description from

http://www.freewebs.com/weekendcode/Console.htm

says

FBStyle

This is a conversion of my BASIC code formatting utility to FreeBASIC source code and FreeBASIC syntax. The main motivation behind the conversion was to use the utility with my Linux setup. This program was original developed from CHANGECASE above with other programmers adding the indenting capability. Conversion to FreeBASIC involved some simple syntax changes, and new sections to tackle indenting module level code.

Anyway to get this now?

It would be of great assistance if there was an IDE something like what VB6 or .Net has. If I could step through a program, one line at a time and see the results, it would be most helpful. The current editors do not catch anything which is not an error, but simply does not work, or work properly.

There is the FreeQ ide that does SOME for you depending on the complexity.
Load up your fb code then press F4.
Tabs, spaces are in the FreeQ configuration

There are some differences between FB and rapidq, but they are similar. The sourcecode link is at the top of the page.

Jk

It is now at

It's in the Software section listed as FBStyle.

Hi, I heard that *Geany* did that in the past. I can't be sure since it was some linux users speaking.
A search in the forum with beautify keyword may well return something anyway.

There is FBeauty.bas, a Geany custom command for code beautyfying, but this does not do code indenting.
