it gets the adjecent lines and checks those too, for misaligned
symbols, indentation, and stop conditions like if there is a ":" in that
line, for example I don't want to align:<br><br>a=1<br>while a==1:<br> ...<br><br>Then it splits the line into variables and arguments at the location of the "=" , so left, right basically.<br><br>Then it strips the indentation white space and newline characters and gets the max. length of a variable. All variable names that are shorter than that get buffered with spaces until they're equal in length.<br><br>The newlines get created with " indentation + variable + = + value "<br><br>All the old lines and new lines get compiled into a block each, I search the document for the entire old block, do some string slicing and plug the new block into the old blocks place.<br><br>Then all text gets set to the text with the plugged new block and the cursor position gets set to the end of the new block.<br><br>I don't need to worry about changes in locations, it's all contained.<br><br>cheers<br><br>Max<br><br><br><br></div> </div></body>
