Format scripts in awk, csh, ksh, perl, sh
I am used to relay on tools for formatting and indenting SQL or PL/SQL code. Looking for the same for linux scripts (especially bash) I found the following code fmt.script #!/usr/bin/env perl # fmt.script - format scripts in awk, csh, ksh, perl, sh # # we do: # standardize indentation (an indent is one tab by default) # strip trailing whitespace # change ${var} to $var where possible # change ">x" to "> x" for shell scripts # change "[ ... ]" to "test ..." for Bourne shell scripts # # we may do someday, but these are harder: # convert $VAR to $var unless a setenv or default environment variable # possibly prepending stuff from template.sh # "if ... \nthen", for ... in\ndo", "while/until ... \ndo", "fn()\n{" # # to have fmt.script reformat itself (a fair test, yes?) try: # fmt.script fmt.script fmt.script.new # use tabs for indents # fmt.script -s4 fmt.script fmt.script.new # in
