Hi Wallace,
I am not aware of any shortcut key that would move cursor to the last
character (ignoring whitespace) at the end of the line.
As for the macro, here it is. It basically does regex find/replace on
current file:
Option Strict Off
Option Explicit Off
Imports System
Imports EnvDTE
Imports EnvDTE80
Imports EnvDTE90
Imports EnvDTE90a
Imports EnvDTE100
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Module UtilityMacros
Sub RemoveWhitespaceAtEndOfLines()
DTE.Find.PatternSyntax =
vsFindPatternSyntax.vsFindPatternSyntaxRegExpr
DTE.Find.Action = vsFindAction.vsFindActionReplaceAll
DTE.Find.FindWhat = ":b+$"
DTE.Find.ReplaceWith = ""
DTE.Find.Target = vsFindTarget.vsFindTargetCurrentDocument
DTE.Find.MatchCase = False
DTE.Find.MatchWholeWord = False
DTE.Find.MatchInHiddenText = False
DTE.Find.ResultsLocation = vsFindResultsLocation.vsFindResultsNone
If (DTE.Find.Execute() = vsFindResult.vsFindResultNotFound) Then
DTE.StatusBar.Text = "Not found any trailing whitespaces"
Else
DTE.StatusBar.Text = "Removed all trailing whitespaces"
End If
End Sub
End Module
