Dear Tony and all,
My Linux box indeed hasn't got "cb", but it has got "indent" which is meant to beautify and reformat C code, e.g. by adding and removing spaces, tabs, linefeeds and blank lines, according to various parameters on a command-line and/or in a config file; GNU indent supports "original", "K&R" and "GNU" styles in addition to custom style. See "info indent" (where installed) for details.
Thanks all, glad to know gnu indent is already there. It is the closest thing to perltidy. What is your favorite options for "indent" Tony. Second thing is that whenever I do: :'<,'>!indent -kr of a particular block. After the formatting, it pushes the block to the first column, in the vi editor. Is there a way to maintain the current position of the block with indent? -- Gundala Viswanath
