I can't spot any mistake, but then I haven't tried it myself. I
recommend creating a function such that you can put a breakpoint and
see what is going on. Also try removing silent and the "e" flag such
that vim can print any errors, in case the substitute is failing
(though again, I can't spot any mistake).
autocmd BufWrite * call T()
function! T()
if ! &bin
%s/\s\+$//g
endif
endfunction
PS: Here is a plug for my breakpts plugin to make it easier to put a
breakpoint. Once you install breakpts.vim, change the function like
this to stop Vim at the first line:
function! T()
exec BPBreak(1)
if ! &bin
%s/\s\+$//g
endif
endfunction
Download breakpts.vim from here: http://www.vim.org/script.php?script_id=618
