Simple Python script to remove trailing spaces and tabs from files.
There often are code or config files that contain trailing spaces and tabs at the end of lines as well as in blank lines. This script will remove them without removing any blank lines themselves.
The code was written on Linux and has only been tested on that platform, yet.
Please backup the data before using this script.
So, to remove all unnecessary spaces inside all Python files inside the directory /tmp/project as well as its sub-directories, type:
$ find /tmp/project -type f | grep "\.py$" > /tmp/foobar.tmp
$ while read line; do
./space-remover.py "$line"
$ done < /tmp/foobar.tmp
$ rm -f /tmp/foobar.tmpAny suggestions, questions, bugs to report or feedback to give?
