Are they mad?

I've got quite a bit of script snips, some pretty, some garbled messes. I _really_ needed some cleaning. From my *nix days, I recalled indent, a very fine program but a touch difficult to use, especially with loads of files at once. Plus, I'm more interested in cleaning .cs than .cpp files.
Searching for a windows version with GUI, I came across SourceStyler 1.3 and gave its demo a try. Ye gods, it turned the code into a monstrosity that TGE can't even load (albiet a pretty mess). Somewhere Im sure I could have set some options that would have produced the proper output I need, but in the meantime I have to manually replace everything with the .bak files. They didn't think to offer that as an auto-option. The price for this? Only $280+!!!
Sheesh, I'm going back to GNU indent. The time it takes to do things right, is still less than it takes to repair SourceStylers mess.

Funny I have used SourceStyler for a long time and it works great, never had any problems with it at all. Then again I never tried on anything other than what it was designed for C/C++.

I guess they never thought you would try and format a file it doesn't support and
I guess you never thought to do backups before a mass edit :-)
