Formatting C++ files

Lucaci Andrew 0 Tallied Votes 366 Views Share

This is a program which I made back in the beginnings when I was trying to figure out how to work with strings, and how to work with files.
This is suppose to format a C++ code, for example if the syntax of an if statement is

if (condition)
{
    do stuff;
}

if will format it to

if (condition){
    do stuff;
}

same as for while and for loops. It will also format the return values, if for example the syntax is

return value;

it will enclose value in open brackets () etc.

Good subject, unfortunately, when I tested, it only added some () for return, nothing else and did not fix bad indention (done by purpose to test the code).

Well, was an old project of mine from "my begginings" in C++, thou the ideea of accomplishing something like this would be awesome.
What can I say:d, it isn't bugg free.
