Find whitespace in end of string using wildcards or regex
I have a Resoure.resx file that I need to search to find strings ending with a whitespace. I have noticed that in Visual Web Developer I can search using both regex and wildcards b开发者_开发百科ut I can not figure out how to find only strings with whitespace in the end. I tried this regex but didn't work:
\s$
Can you give me an example? Thanks!
I'd expect that to work, although since \s
includes \n
and \r
, perhaps it's getting confused. Or I suppose it's possible (but really unlikely) that the flavor of regular expressions that Visual Web Developer uses (I don't have a copy) doesn't have the \s
character class. Try this:
[ \f\t\v]$
...which searches for a space, formfeed, tab, or vertical tab at the end of a line.
If you're doing a search and replace and want to get rid of all of the whitespace at the end of the line, then as RageZ points out, you'll want to include a greedy quantifier (+
meaning "one or more") so that you grab as much as you can:
[ \f\t\v]+$
You were almost there. adding the +
sign means 1 characters to infinite number of characters.
This would probably make it:
\s+$
Perhaps this would work:
^.+\s$
Using this you'll be able to find nonempty lines that end with a whitespace character.
