Indentation of files in vim.

We all wish to indent files in vim so that the code looks more uniform and coherent across multiple systems.

Here's a script written to indent file which runs on bash. This script expects an input (argument) from the user which can be file name or a directory path [assumed that user wishes to run the script for all files in that directory]

 ================================================================
#!/bin/bash
#Pass absolute file name which you wish to indent as an argument to this script
argument=$1
if [[ -d $argument ]]; then
    echo "$argument is a directory"
    #file=$argument/*
    for file in `find $argument -type f -name "*.c" && find $argument -type f -name "*.h"`
    do
        echo $file 
        vim $file -c "normal gg=G" -c "wq"
        expand -t 4 $file $file      
    done
elif [[ -f $argument ]]; then
    echo "$argument is a file"
    file=$argument
    vim $file -c "normal gg=G" -c "wq"
    expand -t 4 $file $file
else
    echo "$argument is not valid"
    exit 1
fi
================================================================

Save the above code as indent.sh.

Type ./indent.sh <filepath/dirpath>.
