Is possible to add Bericko's Source Formatting as an option in the PB editor, so when it's enabled you get each line formatted as you enter it?
Thanks in advance!

Only when you combine both sourcecode to one sourcecode.

use japbe

Yeah, I've used JapBe for a while, and I like it, but Auto Save before compiling is not for me. And finding auto bakups is slow.

For me, as a musician, programming is like composing music: can't play with an instrument that plays notes I dont need.

PB Editor is not a Stradivarius, but is a very good fiddle!
(And I'm not a programmer Paganini!)

Auto Indent is the only PB Editor feature that I'm missing.

you can turn of auto saving, can't you?

No.
GPI says that in JapBe the compiler needs the current file previously saved.

It is always a good idea to save your code before compile, because when the editor crash or hangs (Remember the Structure-Viewer-Hang-Problem?) your source is lost.

In the next release of japbe will include a load Backup command. A list with all Backups + Date will be list and you can select it.

That sounds great! I would find that very useful

Which can be fine. I like to open my sources, change a few things, hit
compile, and see the results. I can then exit and know that the changes
weren't saved -- because if I did like the results, I'd have saved it anyway.

Thats why you can activate Backups... (And it is always a good idea to make also manual backups (for example) on CD; So when your HDD crash, you don't lost all your sources.

Ok, new version of jaPBe with open Backup (alt+o)

If you want to have a Source Formatting in PureBasic you can go to Le Soldat Inconnu's website and download a small program called PBSyntax. This program just work fine. You have all information about how to intergrate it into PB

Or download here : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/lesoldatinconnu ... Syntax.exe

Try it and give some feedback.

Im starting to work with this source formatting tool.
With a 200 lines file, very unformatted, the last 20 lines vanishing!
With shorter files, it seems to work ok.
Nice tool!
