    If it does I can't find it. Plus I'm too lazy to look. So I'll just keep staring at that screen. Staring...

    Solution - toss Style Cop where it belongs.

      Looking for the line of code that has a tiny squiggle at the end because StyleCop analysers found a trailing whitespace and your code won't compile until you fix it. It's like a 12hr game of Where's Wally (or Where's Waldo for the North Americans)

        Notepad++ - search for " \n" in extended character search mode. Or, if you want it a little more challenging, you can do the same thing in Microsoft Word, but that probably isn't the correct instruction for that program (and I'm not going to figure it out)! :laugh:

                  My editor trims trailing whitespace. Trailing whitespace is about the only kind I don't like. :D

                    Visual Studio's editor used to have a rather convenient way of finding trailing whitespace using regular expressions. The newer releases have made it far less convenient.

                            Of course! Why didn't I think of that. It should probably be a VS extension, and should work with all current and future versions in all cultures. This could take weeks of procrastination productive time saving work.

                            I think you are joking. :) There is a SED one-liner for finding any file recursively from a parent folder and printing any file that contains lines that end with a white space. You can also do it with PowerShell. I don't remember how to do either one of them off the top of my head. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

                              Maybe paste the code into a text-editor that allows you to search using regular expressions (i.e., Notepad++) and search using "^.+\s$"?

                                    For me, it's having CP ask me how I want to paste whenever I paste -- and then assuming the wrong default, which adds insult to injury. X|

                                        Looking for the line of code that has a tiny squiggle at the end because StyleCop analysers found a trailing whitespace and your code won't compile until you fix it. It's like a 12hr game of Where's Wally (or Where's Waldo for the North Americans)

                                        cheers Chris Maunder

                                        If it's in VS then maybe something like CodeMaid can help by formatting / cleaning code.
