How to indent multiple lines of code at once?

OK I have spent hours searching.
I have looked at and installed over 20 programs, none work!

How how how can I indent (add a tab before) multiple llines at once?

I am working on some scripts and I have over 1000 lines I need to indent.

It would take hours to do it manually each time I add a brace

do you want to do this in your editor, or from the script?

any decent editor will enable you to select the lines you want to indent, and press tab, or something similar..

In the editor.

I cant find a program to do it.

I am currently using notepad, its ok, but cant indent

try replacing new line caharacter with a newline caharacter+tab. i can do it in ultraedit.

Nvm I found a program.

Edit Plus2. Just highlight what you want, and press tab.

Ahh, MUCH easier!

Thanks for the help though ;)

Well with vi its kinda easy

:<startline>,<endline>s/^I/^I^I/g
or, if currently you've got spaces instead of tabs
:<startline>,<endline>s/ /^I^I/g

note: to create a proper "^I" you need to hit: control-v, then the tab key.

wow, that right there made me never ever want to try vi...
