How can I auto-indent text to look like a script?

How can I auto-indent a block of text to look like a script? I have a stack that keeps my favorite scripts in a database for later use. If I have a block of text that needs to be indented as it would appear in the LC script editor, how can I automate this indenting without having to copy and paste into the script editor itself? I tried setting the script of an object then sending a tab key down to it but that didn't work. I want to format an un-indented script to look like an indented script in my card field.

Hi,
Send me an e-mail (see my website) and I'll send you a stack. The stack is a bit old, might need some adjustment, but it works well almost all the time.
Kind regards,
Mark

This used to work in HyperCard but it not longer works in LiveCode. Any ideas how to get it to work in LC?...
Code: Select all
function formatAsScript CONTAINER
put script of target into TEMP
set script of target to CONTAINER
put script of target into CONTAINER
set script of target to TEMP
return CONTAINER
end formatAsScript

Hi,
I got your e-mail but I can't send you a reply because my IP address is blocked by Road Runner.
