Well, my suggestion to anyone asking this question is that the best
thing IMHO is to learn some scripting language with good regular
expression support. For example Tcl, Python or Perl. I have to deal
with all sorts of source code and I have noticed that - for me - the
easiest path is to first study the source code and then create a
simple script to beautify the code. It takes less time than trying to
find some suitable tool, which may not even product exactly the style
I want.

Very well said man, this is indeed my goal too!

Perhaps you could share with us whatever scripts you've written?

Thanks!
