Hello

I need to strip trailing spaces on 11,000 files. I had thought to do a simple search and replace of "<!DOCTYPE html>" replacing it with "<!DOCTYPE html>" confusing TextPad with WildEdit where in TextPad I am now set up to strip trailing spaces when saving.

So the question is: how does WildEdit treat trailing spaces?

Just as TextPad does:

Search for: _+$ [Replace the underscore with a space]

[X] Regular expression

Replace with: [nothing]

Options

Regular expression syntax
[X] Perl/ECMAScript
OR
[X] POSIX Extended
