Thank you, squarqDev and Charles! I’ll give sed/awk a go! Quincey, your responses are normally very helpful, so I’m sorry I picked an example that bothered you. It’s not that it’s too much trouble for me to manually fix a typo like “let half = numerator /2”; I just wanted a completely innocuous example that wouldn’t open up a debate leading to unhelpful noise like “your formatting ideas are stupid, so clearly you don’t need the formatter you’re looking for.”
However, considering that the compiler allows “let half = numerator/2,” complaining about the spacing in my example is either an inline compiler bug or someone at Apple just being an ass. If spaces are optional, then either space should be optional. There is no unary division operator to create any possible confusion about what the statement means. (And if I create my own unary division operator to do some insane thing, then I get what I deserve, right?) -- Charles On January 15, 2016 at 05:40:11, sqwarqDev (sqwarq...@icloud.com) wrote: > On 15 Jan 2016, at 03:36, Charles Jenkins <cejw...@gmail.com> wrote: > > there’s no way for the end user to create them. A combination of AppleScript, sed and awk will pretty much do anything you can imagine in terms of text formatting, and they’re all included on you mac already; no need for 3rd party apps. With a project and source document already open, doing this in the (Apple)Script Editor will get your code into the editor, where you can then transform it any way you like before sending it back: tell application "Xcode" tell source document 1 set _sourceCode to contents -- do shell script ....//do all your formatting here -- replace the original code with your formatted changes set contents to _sourceCode end tell end tell Best Phil @sqwarqdev _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
