Stripping trailing whitespace from XCode

![](http://shuningbian.net/files/xcode_strip_trailing_whitespace_regex.jpg)

Firstly, my usual approach of s/\s+$//g doesn't work since it eats up the newline too. s/\s+$/\n/g doesn't work either because the Replace: field in the find dialogue doesn't escape the \n.

Final solution is as shown: s/[ \t]+$//g

Cheers,
