It was just when 2.5.0 came out since I thought it was the
most appropriate time for something like this.
Anyway the simple script I used is attached.
Note for 2.5.0 it removed 224,654 bytes.
Padraig.

# Remove trailing whitespace. By default it runs
# in the current directry, on all files, but you
# can change this by passing parameters as you
# would to find.
#
# Note this doesn't change file (timestamps)
# which don't need to be updated.
#Note super sed has a -i option to do this (edit files in place)
#also perl can edit files in place easily.
# Temporary file
temp=/tmp/runsed$$
find "$@" -type f -print |
while read file
do
echo -n "editing $file: "
if test -s $file; then
sed -e 's/[ ]*$//g' <$file > $temp
if test -s $temp; then
if cmp -s $file $temp; then
echo -n "file not changed: "
else
cp $temp $file
fi
echo "done"

echo "produced an empty file - aborting"

echo "original file is empty."

rm -f $temp
