A simple yet flexible utility to convert indentation.

A simple yet flexible utility to convert indentation in your source code files.

Why?

I needed to convert indentations in a source code file, and I wasn’t able to find anything really flexible to do this. So, this is an attempt to code something flexible enough to handle any possible use-case.

Exemples

Convert fixindents.py 4-spaces indents to tab indents, write to fixendents_tabs.py:

fixindents.py --source-size 4 --dest-tabs --source fixindents.py --dest fixindents_tabs.py

Convert previously created fixindents_tabs.py to 2-spaces indents, write to fixindents_space.py:

fixindents.py --source-tabs --dest-size 2 --source fixindents_tabs.py --dest fixindents_space.py

Convert all files in the FixIndents folder from 4-spaces to tabs, write to the FixIndentsTabs folder:

fixindents.py --source-size 4 --dest-tabs --source FixIndents --dest FixIndentsTabs

Convert 4-spaces .py files in the FixIndents folder to tabs, write to the FixIndentsTabs folder:

fixindents.py --source-size 4 --dest-tabs --source FixIndents --dest FixIndentsTabs --extentions ".py"
