This python script fixes the .cproject
#
# Tested on Windows, Cube 1.17, Gfx 4.24.1
# This script processes a `.cproject` file with the following modifications:
# 1. Replaces every two-space indentation with a tab.
# 2. Uses CRLF (`\r\n`) as the newline format.
# 3. Merges lines 2 and 3 into line 2 with no extra characters between them.
# 4. Ensures the last line is exactly `</cproject>`, with no EOF or trailing newline.
#

content = file.read()
# Force CRLF as the newline type
newline_type = '\r\n'
# Split into lines while preserving newline characters
lines = content.splitlines()
# Replace leading spaces with corresponding number of tabs
processed_lines = []
for line in lines:
leading_spaces = len(line) - len(line.lstrip())
tabs = '\t' * (leading_spaces // 2) # Each two spaces become one tab
processed_lines.append(tabs + line.lstrip())
# Combine lines 2 and 3 into line 2 with no extra space
if len(processed_lines) > 2:
processed_lines[1] = processed_lines[1].rstrip() + processed_lines[2].lstrip()
del processed_lines[2]
# Ensure last element is exactly '</cproject>' with no extra newlines or EOF
processed_lines[-1] = '</cproject>'
# Write back changes using CRLF and ensure no trailing newline
