Hi Tore,
Actually, I naively tried IF ~
<<lcTab>>
<<lcSpace>>ELSE
<<lcTab>>
<<lcSpace>>ENDIF
and noticed that lcTab is not recognized. That made me wonder what this lcSpace was doing there. I also noticed that leaving it out didn't change the result. And I also wonder why there should be a space at the beginning of ... AAH! Now I get it! Let me try sometinhg...IF
IF
ELSE
ENDIF
ELSE
ENDIF
Yes, I see it now. It takes care of indentation! Ok, so my modification could be:do case
<<lcSpace>>case ~
<<lcSpace>><<chr(9)>>
<<lcSpace>>otherwise
<<lcSpace>><<chr(9)>>
<<lcSpace>>endcase
Yes, it works as expected. I also tried...do case
<<lcSpace>>case ~
<<lcSpace>><<lcSpace>>
<<lcSpace>>otherwise
<<lcSpace>><<lcSpace>>
<<lcSpace>>endcase
...but it gives too many indentations for the 'empty' lines. The lcSpace variable actually inserts tabs (in my IDE) and 2 * lcSpace gives 6 tabs in case the basic indentation is 3. I need 4 in that case.
I wonder why there's no lcTab. Or is there a place where it can be inserted in source code? I couldn't locate it in the Foxcode source code (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\VFPSource\foxcode).
