I would love to clean up my code with tabs etc so I can see the structure more clearly. Is there a freeware program to do that (ie indent in a conditional clause/loop) or do I need to write one...?
Sorry if someone has already posted about this, but I have searched and searched.
Do a search for vbdocumentor or i think the site is www.frameplus.com. They have a very good util to document the code to make it more readable.
Well that's what happens when you ignore those rules stated at the beginning of programming books.
It's best to lean how to write clear maintainable code and not have to use these code-cleaning apps. As soon as you start to write code you should be indenting code blocks, I mean is it really that difficult to reach for the tab key?
i only remember about half the time to indent WHEN i am typing.
Generally I write the sub....then go back and add the indents.
when I get a thought in my head i have to type it out asap! no time for tabbing! LOL :D
I indent as i go. Just need to get in the habit. It's not that hard. It also makes life a lot easier. Be a happy coder. Follow the rules. heheh.
I never learnt from books, just picked it up generally. But I wrote a lot of code without indents which I would now love to indent.
Thanks! (the documenter is useful)
whatever makes you happy. If coding without standards or rules makes you happy than so beit. The only thing i can say that one day that code may fall into the hands of a potential customer and then you have a lot of work cleaning up. What i usualy do is indent as i go. Then when i have the first version done i then do all of my clean up.
now I try to write with the rules. I want to clean up some of my old code.
search for PrettyCode.Print in
www.planetsourcecode.com

Try CodeSmart Very good program Free demo Fully Functional Only needs Serial Number.

searching for PrettyCode.Print gives me no results. Any suggestions?
is about £100
B ut you can download a demo and use it. its fully operational
10 source files at once.
10 source code files limitation is only the project Anylizer.
For the code formatter its unlimited.
He needs to use the Code Formatter.
Why don't you guys write one instead of shelling out £loads of cash on it. Seems to me like you'll get some practice at indenting at the same time!
If you read my original request, I asked if anyone knew about a free version, as I do *NOT* want to waste my time frigging about writing a program. Obviously if there is no program I may be forced to write my own...Quote:
