Expose trailing whitespaces using Find dialog

Delete trailing whitespaces using Replace dialog - before

Delete trailing whitespaces using Replace dialog - after

Lame tip huh?

for white spaces instead of [ \t], you can use \s 3 less keystrokes :-)

You are right. Your regular expressions expression works too. The JDK documentation on Patter says:

\s A whitespace character: [ \t\n\x0B\f\r]

which includes newline, form feed, carriage return also. That is why I did not use it. However there some explaination of it here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html#DOTALL
