vim c-formating unformated text

websinger · 08-09-2006, 03:32 PM

Is there a vim editor command that whould take
highlighted (but unformatted ) c code and
format it, inserting indents and line feeds
the documentation I looked at seems to be able to
set it up to do that on input but how about existing
text.

No, I saw those before I posted, they just didn't do what I was asking. This is what I am wondering about

1. hilighted existing unformated text
a. no line feeds
b. no indentation ( tabs or spaces )
c. block of text hilighted in visual mode

2. an editor directive ':somthing' that will
reformat the highlighted block of text c indentqation style.

somthing like-

Code:

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(){ printf(" %s \n","hello World"); return 0; }
