## HarveyIndent

Easily fix indentation issues (defaults made for Python). This script is used as a rescue method in case you start getting indentation errors and you need a quick fix.

## Syntax

#### Basic usage

Suppose your file is named test.py

test.py

```

for i in range(0, 10):

print i

```

Note the incorrect indentation.

Run:

`$ python harveyindent.py test.py`

It creates a file named `test.hi.py`.

test.hi.py

```

for i in range(0, 10):

    print i

```

Now running `$ python harveyindent.py test.py` on this input

```

for i in range(0, 10):

print i #~

if i == 9:

print 'done'

```

Gives:

```

for i in range(0, 10):

    print i #~

if i == 9:

    print 'done'

```

Notice the `#~` which informs the script to decrease the indent.

#### Defining the indent

You can redefine the default indent by giving an option `-s` for spaces and `-t` for tabs followed by the number of spaces or tabs respectively.

For example,

`$ python harveyindent.py test.py -s 4`

will use 4 spaces as an indent.

`$ python harveyindent.py test.py -t 2`

This will use two tabs as an indent.

#### Changing the default unindent symbol

The default unindent symbol is `#~`. This can be changed by giving an option `-u` followed by the symbol in quotes.

For example,

`$ python harveyindent.py test.py -u "#end"`

#### Coding conventions

While programming, make it a point to add the unindent character wherever necessary. So, if indentation errors start occurring you can just run this script to fix them.

```

for i in range(0, 10):

    print i

#end

if i == 9:

    print 'done'

#end

```
