Hello, I need a regularexpression, which trims trailing whitespaces.
While with unix line endings, it works;
but not with Window (Dos) CRLF's:
>>> import re
>>> retrailingwhitespace = re.compile('(?<=\S)[ \t]+$', re.MULTILINE)
1) Windows
>>> r="erewr \r\nafjdskl "
>>> newtext, n = retrailingwhitespace.subn('', r)
>>> n
1
>>> newtext
'erewr \r\nafjdskl'
2) Unix
>>> r="erewr \nafjdskl "
>>> newtext, n = retrailingwhitespace.subn('', r)
>>> n
2
>>> newtext
'erewr\nafjdskl'
>>>
Who can help me (regular expression, which works for both cases).
Thank you in advance!
