I want to remove trailing white spaces and tabs from my code without removing empty lines.
I tried:
\s+$
and:
([^\n]*)\s+\r\n
But they all removed empty lines too. I guess \s
matches end-of-line characters too.
UPDATE (2016):
Nowadays I automate such code cleaning by using Sublime's TrailingSpaces package, with custom/user setting:
"trailing_spaces_trim_on_save": true
It highlights trailing white spaces and automatically trims them on save.
Try just removing trailing spaces and tabs:
[ \t]+$
