Removing spaces

[notbob]

I have a large text file. Many of the lines in the text files have spaces on the left before the text actually starts. The number of spaces varies from line to line.

I would like to have it all aligned on the far left of the file. Is there any easy way to do this?

As an example, below is some text (note each period at the beginning of the line actually represents a space)

.......This is line 1
....This is line 2
................This is line 3
..........................This is line 4

Would like to have the following after editing.

This is line 1
This is line 2
This is line 3
This is line 4

Thank you

Jason

Replace with nothing. Tick "Regular expression" and hit "Replace All". HTH
