Hi Peter,

Just curious, what kind of problems are they causing?

If you are running a variaty of unix/bsd/linux/solaris you could jusr =20
write a simple shell script and regex using sed and save the modified =20
version.  In any other operating system, I have no idea.  When I =20
eliminate spaces I often do tabs at the same time so that they don't =20
slip by me.  Something like

# egrep -lr '[  ]{1,}*$' *

or with grep ( a bit older ) there is a [tab and a space] between the [].

# grep -lr '[  ][  ]*$' *

will recursively list the files that have spaces or tabs in the PWD.  =20
A sed script can remove them and your script can save the modified =20
version separately.

a sed script that will need to be redirected to save a modified copy =20
without spaces and or tabs.

sed  's/[  ][   ]*$//' *

You would redirect it to a new file that will be clean of tabs and =20
spaces at the end of lines.

If that works for you and you need a simple but complete script to =20
start from, I'm sure most anyone here can throw one together as a =20
model for you. But, of course, with standard disclaimers ;)

In fact, if there is a valid reason, it might be a better idea to just =20
remove them from the repository and make life easier for all.

Hope that helps,
