What is the KUKA KRL Source Code Formatter?

KUKA KRL Source Code Formatter is a program which re-indents your KUKA KRL (KUKA Robot Language) source code. It also replaces source code like:

  • "a=b" to "a = b"
  • "Func(12,A,3)" to "Func(12, A, 3)"
  • "TIMER>=8" to "TIMER >= 8"
  • ...

The program comes in two versions:

  • KUKA_KRL_SourceIndent_GUI.exe: Version with Graphical User Interface (GUI).
  • KUKA_KRL_SourceIndent_CMD.exe: Command line version.

The archive, you can download, brings also a XML-Configuration file for the editor notepad++ which will enable the syntax highlighting support for the KUKA Robot Language in notepad++ (see screenshots and chapter: "Intallation of syntax highlighting in notepad++ for KRL").
