Anyone know a source code beautifier tool for batch files?

[JJ]

Like HTMLTidy or others which are commonly used with HTML, JavaScript, CSS,
etc., but for the batch programming language (source code of a batch file).
Not the other way around.

It would be great if it's configurable. e.g. use 2 spaces indentation
instead of a tab character; make sure there's a blank line (or not) after
each GOTO command; etc.

I've been searching for it for a while, but haven't found any. A few of the
text editors out there have batch file syntax highlighting, but not source
code beautifier.

Don't know if it fits the bill but have you checked out NotePad ++ ?

No, sorry. Thanks, though.

I think what you're asking for is going to be a bit difficult to find.
Batch doesn't really have a formal coding style to it. You could always
opt for writing your own, but, again, the results will be in the way
you personally feel it should look.

You can copy and paste the contents of the preview window to an editor
and save as a new file. So do I.

This is the best solution I know.

Sorry, but syntax highlighting is not what I'm looking for.
