    format code in file

    Hi..

    EDIT...DAMN... It tricked me.. :S

    Weel I want to format a file regarding
    Code:
    "{" and "}"
    so it is possible to se the code easier.. I know there exist a linux-command to do this (format a C-file), but cannot remember it..

    A quick search of the Web gives Artistic Style and Indent - C source beautifier. Next time, you might want to search the Web before you ask.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    Ummm.. Indent has a billion options to control the style. You didn't set it up right. Don't blame the tool for your inability to use it.

    By default it does something very close to the original K&R. It can be configured to match it exactly. It can be configured to do it any way you want, really.
