Visual Studio 2005 Express does a reasonable job of prettifying code. You just open the file, CTRL-A to select all CTRL-K+ CTRL-F to format it.

Can I format a C++ file wth perltidy? &nbsp;My C++ file has comments like:<br />
<br />
//------------------------<wbr />----------<wbr />----------<wbr />----------<wbr />-<br />
// &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Header<br />

<br />
Perltidy screws this up. &nbsp;It works REAL well with vi to format much<br />
of the code but it seems to have trouble with comments. &nbsp;Is there<br />
a cpptidy or some flag I can set to fix this?

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
