Cleaning up tabs, spacing, etc on a Ruby script

Question

I have a series of scripts that have a mixture of all kinds of spacing, tabs, or a complete lack thereof. Is there anything that can parse and clean .rb files in a similar manner to HTML Tidy?

This is a standard feature of Ruby IDEs. – Mark Thomas Feb 03 '11 at 00:29 — Mark Thomas, Feb 03 '11 at 00:29

You can try the Ruby Script Beautifier.

Thanks, wasn't aware of this. Looks like it works for indentation, but doesn't help with spacing or excess line returns -- still a big step in the right direction though. – Shane T Feb 03 '11 at 00:41
Sorry, yes the `=` is Vim's indentation command. I didn't realise from your question that you meant not-at-the-start-of-the-line spacings – Gareth Feb 03 '11 at 00:44

This is also a nice solution, and works with 1.9.
