Reformat/Reindent Code (Plain Text)

#1

Hi there,

is there a way to reformat/reindent code of a plain text file, unsaved or saved?

I am working with a proprietary script language not supported or listed here. I deciced to move from notepad++ using TextFX-Plugin which allowed me to reformat code indepentendly from the coding language (not definied).

I tried several packages but all require to define a language which I don’t want/need because sometimes I just have some code which I want to manipulate, reformat and forget.

best regards

example code

if((push_service == "alle") || (push_service == "Pushover")){ ! Informationsmeldungen "HomeMatic" if((prio == -2) || (prio == -1) || (prio == 0)){ ! User1 dom.GetObject("CUxD.CUX2801001:1.CMD_EXEC").State("extra/curl -s -k -d token='"#HMinfo1_pushover#"' -d user='"#key1_pushover#"' -d message='"#message#"' -d priority='"#prio#"' -d sound='"#sound#"' -d html=1 https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json"); ! User2 nur, wenn prio >= prio_min_pushover if(key2_pushover != " "){ if(prio >= prio_min_pushover){ dom.GetObject("CUxD.CUX2801001:1.CMD_EXEC").State("extra/curl -s -k -d token='"#HMinfo2_pushover#"' -d user='"#key2_pushover#"' -d message='"#message#"' -d priority='"#prio#"' -d sound='"#sound#"' -d html=1 https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json"); } } } }

looks quite like C, and intending as such works. I did:

  • CTRLSHIFTP to open Command palette

  • S S C Enter selected C as current syntax

  • CTRLA to select all code

  • CTRLSHIFTP to open Command palette again

  • r e i n Enter to issue the reindent command

Thank you for the advice! Unfortunately, thats not the “easy” solution I was hoping for… But it’s something, atleast as long as I dont forget to set the syntax (and I open/close tabs alot… hmpf :frowning: )

Can I guess there is no package which allows reindent of “plain text” even if there are brackets and stuff?

well, you could alter the Plain Text syntax to provide neccesary indent hints to sublime but imho record a macro and assigning it to a shortcut is easier.
