RingFmt.ring formatting code

[Bert Mariani]

Hello Mahmoud et ALL

I tested  RingFmt.ring against a simple script.

These are the result differences with my CodeFormatter.ring

Note the  "See" line as for readability.

I think RingFmt.ring can use some extra spacing.

==========================

Process file: code-2-b.ring
===========================================
test()

func test()

        z++
        a = 6
        b = 5
        if a >= b
                a = 4
        ok
        if a <= b and z = 9
                a = 12
        ok
        see "Data: "+A+"abc"+"++"+B+nl   // <<<<<
        return

==========================

Hello Mahmoud et ALL

Attached it the GUI version of RingFmt.ring

   - RingFmt-GUI.ring

   - code-1.c.ring

The original code is ALL intact.

Added a few  "addText( sData)  for output to the TextEdit Box in the original code.

USAGE:

Go-Dialog

   Select 1 file ring file

   Formats it.

Go-Directory

   Enter the * Pattern to match fileNames:  Ex.   code-2*  ,  *.ring   etc

   It will bring up a Directory Dialog.

   Click on "Select Directory"  OR  change Directory.

   Formats all  ring files that the match Pattern in the name.

Params:

   Chose parameter using dropdown list

   Class

   Indent

   Output

FIXED for readability  - the Arithmetic Ops added

    RingFmt.ring  

         c = b-a
         plus = a+b
         SEE "Data: "+A+"abc"+"++"+B+nl

   RingFmt-Gui.ring

         c = b - a
         plus = a + b
        SEE "Data: " + A + "abc" + "++" + B + nl

Question:

The cTabChars = Tab  - -  8 spaces  -- which seems too much.

How can it be set to 4 spaces

func getTabChars
    cTabChars = Tab          // 8 spaces 
    switch cIndentation
        on :spaces
            cTabChars = Copy(" ",8)

==============================

Hello Mansour

Thanks for the compliment !

Together with Everyone's Input we can make Ring easier to use,  performant, flexible ,and intuitive.

We can show Ring's  capabilities by writing various programs of interest with relative ease !

Programs that I have not attempted to write in the past with other languages ....

I have managed to write them in Ring and been surprised to be able to do them !

Because of Ring's huge capabilities and array of "Swiss Army Knife" Tools.

Best Regards

Bert Mariani
