Trim Trailing Whitespace

Post by jd_csfb »

This is a function that could probably be done with a macro, but it would be a lot more efficient to do it with code - stripping whitespace off of the end of lines in a block. It would even be useful if it could be configured to happen automatically (a-lá VB).

Saving to strip trailing spaces is a pain and I often use TP to reformat/process large files
I want to be able to select a region & do this.
