As anyone who has ever done programming knows, it doesn't take long for the best laid plans to mess up elegant formatting. I've been unable to find a command that reformats messy C code back to a standard GNU format (or any other for that matter). Have I missed something, or does this command not exist for programming languages?
Thanks.

Dear Marc,
If, by reformatting, you mean re-indenting the code, the tool you need is called "indent". Just type "man indent" in a shell for details.
Best regards, Mathieu

There's /usr/bin/indent, which is either part of the standard MacOS install or part of the developer package. For the standard GNU format you're probably better off with the GNU variant, which can be obtained through MacPorts http://www.macports.org/. It installs to /opt/local/bin/gnuindent. In general, GNU indent has many more options than the standard version, including quick preset options for the GNU, K&R, and Berkeley styles.
Thanks for this. I know this is how emacs does it, but I was looking to find an internal reformatting command inside TextMate. Not a problem. I can easily create a command to access this version of indent.

If you only need the indent fixed, as opposed to changing where line breaks are, then you can use Text → Indent Line / Selection.
For my preferred style of indentation, I think it does a surprisingly good job :)
