Astyle formatting of all the documents in a folder and create no back up files

Question

I just started using astyle.

1. Is it possible to run astyle on all the files in a folder ?
2. If the folder has files with different formats, can it wisely choose C/C++ files alone to format ?
3. Is it possible to link astyle to gedit so that the programs written from now on are in format ?
4. Is it possible to not create file.cpp.orig back up file after formatting ?

Thank you!

Answer 1

1. Yes, you can do astyle *.cpp and it will run on all cpp files.
2. See above
3. Not to gedit, but gedit generally isn't a good program to use when coding. Most IDEs like CodeBlocks have built-in settings to help your code format automatically as you're coding.
4. Yes it is. Run astyle with --suffix=none or -n
