Possible Duplicate:
Objective-C style formatter

I’m very picky about the formatting of my Objective C code. Lately I’ve been obliged to work with quite a bit of Objective C code that wasn’t written by me, and I would like to format it according my own customary code formatting standards (e.g. ANSI bracket style, spacing between method name and first argument, etc, etc.

Of course, I know I can throw together something in Perl to automate this for me, but I was hoping there was a tool out there which could do the job for me. So, is there some free tool available for formatting Objective C files?

    OK, found Uncrustify, which does the trick:

    http://uncrustify.sourceforge.net/

    And a sample config file for Objective C here:

    There’s even an XCode plugin available:
