VBScript Code Formatter

VBScript Code Formatter: Core Features & Principles

VBScript code often becomes difficult to read and maintain due to a lack of standardized formatting. A VBScript code formatter automatically analyzes the code structure and transforms messy VBS scripts into neatly organized, clearly structured code through smart indentation, consistent line breaks, and spacing adjustments. This helps developers quickly understand the logic and improve work efficiency.

Why Choose Our VBScript Code Formatter?

• Accurate syntax recognition: Supports proper indentation for block structures of keywords (such as If, For, Sub, etc.) and preserves the original comment formatting.
• Minimalist workflow: Simply paste your code to format it instantly. No plugins or complex configurations required.
• Secure local processing: Code formatting is done entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to our servers, ensuring your script's privacy.

How to Use

1. Paste the VBScript code you want to beautify into the input box.
2. Click the "Format" button, and the tool will automatically reorganize your code.
3. The result will appear in the output area, where you can directly copy or download the formatted code.

Input format: Plain text VBScript code. For example, the following messy code:

Dim a:a=1:If a>0 Then:MsgBox "Positive":End If

Formatted output:

Dim a
a = 1
If a > 0 Then
    MsgBox "Positive"
End If

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Will formatting change my code's functionality? No. Formatting only changes the appearance of the code (indentation, line breaks, spacing). It does not modify any variables, logic, or statements. The execution result remains exactly the same.
• Does the tool support VBS scripts with Chinese variables or comments? Fully supported. The tool processes plain text and does not differentiate between language character sets. Chinese comments and string contents will be preserved exactly as they are; only the indentation levels are adjusted.

Important Notes

Please ensure that the input VBScript code is generally syntactically correct; severe syntax errors may lead to incorrect indentation. This tool is primarily designed for standard VBScript 5.x syntax and does not include special object formatting for specific hosts (such as ASP or WSH). We recommend keeping the code length under 5,000 lines, as excessively long text may affect browser response times. Privacy reminder: This tool is implemented purely on the front end, meaning your code never leaves your local device.

Technical Notes & Usage Tips

To maintain a consistent team code style, we recommend configuring the same indentation rules (e.g., 4 spaces) in your editor's VBS plugins (such as VSCode). For complex structures containing inline conditional statements, the formatter applies standard conventions; you can manually fine-tune specific line breaks in the output to suit your personal preferences. Typical styling: The internal code of all block statements (If...End If, For...Next) is indented by one level by default, while the contents inside double-quoted strings remain unchanged.
