- DBINDENT Help File

- For Version 1.00 2-18-85
-
- (C) 1985 by Merlin R. Null
-
- The purpose of DBINDENT is to change the indentation of a
- dBASE II command file and send the output to the screen, printer,
- file or any/ combination of these. Any value of indentation
- between 0 and 9 columns may be used. This allows more freedom of
- choice than is offered with most pretty printers. Usually, the
- author's ideas of pretty printing are imposed on the user.

- Calling a Directory Listing
-
- To call a directory from the title screen simply enter the drive
- you wish to list.
-
- Filename.SRC/.CMD or Drive:? A:
-
- This will list the directory of drive A and give the prompt again.
-
- Directory of drive A:
- FOO .CMD DBSOURCE.BAS DBSOURCE.COM BRUN .COM A10 .CMD
- ENCODE .BAS ENCODE .COM MBASIC .COM D .COM SAMPLE .CMD
- BOOKS .DBF BOOKS .FRM DBASE .COM CLS .DAT CLEARSET.BAS
- CLEARSET.COM DBASEMSG.TXT DBASEOVR.COM B4 .CMD DROID .CMD
- DBINDENT.BAS DBINDENT.COM NURSE .BAS A10 .SRC A10 .BAK
- CLONE .CMD TEST .CMD CLONE .SRC A10 .OLD
- Filename.SRC/.CMD or Drive:?
-
-
-
- The ZCPR like drive call of A; will also work to call the
- directory, even if you are not running ZCPR. The Filename may be
- entered here or a <RETURN> will redisplay the start screen.

- Options
-
- P Send output to Printer
- F Send output to File
- N No console output
- 1-9 Value to indent or undent (default=2)
- 0 Remove all indenting
-
-
- No option specified
-
- Without an option specified, the output will go only to the
- console with an indentation value of 2. No files will be
- generated or changed.
-
-
- Numbers with the options
-
- Adding a numeral with the options or as a sole option
- changes the default value of the indentation or undent. Values
- may be between 0 and 9. 0 produces a file without indentation.
- This might be useful if you want to produce a slightly compressed
- file. With heavy nesting of loops a large number of bytes can be
- tied up in indentation.
-
-
- Send output to Printer
-
- The P option sends the output to the printer. Used alone,
- the P option will not change any disk files. It will produce a
- pretty printed listing of a file for any original indentation
- value.
-
-
- Send output to File
-
- The F option produces a new, pretty printed, file with the
- same name as the input file. The input file is renamed with a
- .BAK extension.
-
-
-
- No console output
-
- The N option shuts off the normal presentation of the output
- file on the console. This helps speed up generation of a file or
- printing of the output. It can not be used unless the F or P
- options are also used.
