    When I first got Ultra-Edit, I opened a javascript file up.

    When I reindented it I was dissapointed:

    Notice that if you indent something like this:

    Code: Select all

    if (1)
{
.....
}else{
.....
}
    you get:

    Code: Select all

    if (1)
{
.....
}else{
   .....
   }
    So you'd have to use:

    Code: Select all

    if (1)
{
.....
}
else{
.....
}
    or:

    Code: Select all

    if (1)
{
.....
}
else
{
.....
}
    if you wanted it to indent correctly.

    The last two styles of coding suck ass. }else{ is the bestest way to do it.

    Goto wordlist.txt.

    Find the language you want to indent correctly.
    Replace the indent & unindent with:

    Code: Select all

    /Indent Strings EOL = "{"
/Unindent Strings SOL = "}"

      I actually prefer the last method. To each his own. However, those aren't the only problems with SmartIndent. For C and some other languages you don't need to use braces if there is only one line following the if. UE doesn't seem to handle this case at all.

      Code: Select all

      if ( something )
    something_else = nothing;
else
    something_else = another_thing;
