You want something specific, so you'll need to write specific emacs lisp code to implement it. > When i say "format" or "make it look pretty" I mean it does stuff > like: > Ex: Take a really long if statement expression and make it into 4 > lines instead of just one HUGE expression. > Ex: > if((expression[x][y]>work[x][y])||(expression[x+1][y]>work[x+1][y])||( > expression[x][y+1]>work[x][y+1])||(expression[x][y-1]>work[x][y-1])|| > if (( expression[x-1][y] > work[x-1][y] ) > || ( expression[x+1][y] > work[x+1][y] ) > || ( expression[x][y+1] > work[x][y+1] ) > || ( expression[x][y-1] > work[x][y-1] )) Beurk. What'd look "pretty" for me would be: if((work[x][y]<expression[x][y]) ||(work[x+1][y]<expression[x+1][y]) ||(work[x][y+1]<expression[x][y+1]) ||(work[x][y-1]<expression[x][y-1])){ See what I mean by "specific"... So, you need to write (at least a partial) parser for C in emacs lisp, matching C statements and expressions, and reformating them. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ The world will now reboot. don't bother saving your artefacts. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
