I've certainly never heard of a scenario in which trailing white space is beneficial.

Neither have I, but since it's invisible, asking that it not be there without providing automatic mechanical assistance is to add a tedious burden.

sed -e 's/[ \t]+$//'

Not the whole story, surely; you must want me to do something like create sort-it: #!/bin/bash find /home/jf -name \*.hs -o -name \*.lhs | xargs -IX sed -i.bak -e 's/[ \t]+$//' X and put it in a my crontab to run once a day? Otherwise it's not automatic. Only, strangely enough, what you wrote doesn't work (s/-e/-r/). -- Jón Fairbairn Jon.Fairbairn@cl.cam.ac.uk
