I tend to use this tool in VFP a good bit - especially since a lot of
the code where I work tends to be REALLY SLOPPY - making it harder to
read.
One of the problems - is that they all make one long code - instead of
making things more procedural. The problem then becomes matching up the
tops and bottoms of loops - when trying to review code and look for a
problem. So - I use Beautify to clean up the Indentation - which then
generally makes it MUCH easier to see Loop structures.
However, the problem I have is that Beautify doesn't always work. So -
even after doing it - I go to the beginning of a Do While - and if I
then scroll directly down in the code - it all generally indents in
farther - then comes back out. Except - instead of an Enddo matching up
with the same indentation - I may find like an Endif.
Anybody know why it doesn't always work right? Is there Bugs in
Beautify?
Thanks,

Kurt,
If you have an area highlighted, doesn't it just Beautify the selection?

Also take a look at BeautifyX from the VFPX project on Codeplex. Has
some good options that extends Beautify.

I just tried that. I messed up indenting on a chunk of code - and even
some code above it. But, when I selected that Chunk - it fixed up BOTH
the selected chunk - as well as the bit of code a little bit above that.
So - it seems that it ALWAYS works on the Entire program code in one
shot.

I think that is why Dan Covill calls it "uglify rather than "beautify" Lol

If you have a mixture of tabs and spaces you can get some strange indentations.
For Keywords: Mixed case,
Symbols: match first occurance
Type of indentation change to spaces and change the number to 3
click all the 'text to indent', 'extra indent beneath'
Don't highlight any text and this will beautify the entire file.

Just to clarify a bit, BeautifyX is part of Thor and PEM Editor, so don't look for it as an independent project.

I think I have to agree w/Lou & Dan Covill - about Beautify being more
like Uglify!
I tried your suggestion (which, for the most part, the way you suggested
to run it is how I normally do it) - except I normally do Tabs as the
Indents instead of Spaces. So - I tried Spaces - but, I still got
problems. I then looked down thru the code - and was trying to match up
an Enddo with the Do While WAY Above it - only to find out that things
were NOT line up starting at a particular point in the code. So - I
tried doing some realignment myself - but, it's a BIG program - and it's
a bit of a difficult task! Oh well...

Kurt,
Sounds like it's time to refactor.
If you highlight the apparent beginning of the DO WHILE to the ENDDO, copy
it to a new PRG, run Beautify there, does it clean it up?
If it does, perhaps there's a number of lines limitation in Beautify.
