How can I remove trailing spaces in the document? I think that
this should be essential feature included in BBEdit, via menus,
and maybe also included in preferences, to be able to select it to
strip trailing spaces automatically upon saving the file.
Find ' +$' (a space followed by +$) and replace with nothing.
That'll find the spaces at the end of lines, but I think the OP was
looking to kill trailing white spaces from the end of the *document*.
In that case, this should do the trick:
Search for: \s*\z
Replace with: [leave blank]
To explain:
\s -> matches any whitespace character (spaces, tabs, returns, etc.)
* -> finds a series of zero or more instances of the preceding
pattern (\s)
\z -> The series must be at the very end of the document
