AsmTidy PIC Micro controller ASM source code tidier beautifier

"AsmTidy" - A utility to tidy Microchip PIC ASM code

(Project updated 14th May 2007)

Introduction

I created AsmTidy in an attempt to make it easier to tidy-up the general text layout of Assembly code written for Microchip PIC micro controllers.

It is currently compatible with MPASM code as used with Microchips's MPLAB assembler software.

I am currently testing it with code written for the PIC16F and PIC18F range of controllers.

It has been tested on Windows XP, Windows98 and Windows Vista (Home Premium edition)

Features

Arranges text neatly in columns, converts spaces to tabs (8 spaces per tab).
Easily changes the text case for Labels, Instructions, Registers and Comments
Able to add or remove colons to Labels
End of line comments can be automatically removed.
Blank lines can be removed
Option to add/remove a space in front of comments
Can convert PIC TASM type assembly files to the MPASM standard
Very easy to use

Example

An example of extremely untidy code

Note. Looks best in a text editor that supports tabs (8 spaces per tab) eg.Notepad

Download

The current version of AsmTidy (v beta 0.02) (12/04/2007)
(Note. This is a beta software version - still being developed)

I do not release the source code for this project.

Notes

As a precaution, please back-up your source files before using this software.

For it to work, your program must already compile properly. It can't fix errors in your code!

Always test your "tidied" code by re-compiling it with MPLAB and fix any possible errors.

Things to do

Improve the user interface
