Productivity Killer of the Day

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

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

Solution - toss Style Cop where it belongs.

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|

You can do regex searches in Visual Studio.

I literally went over all of my failing files and cleaned it up. Seems about right. What I need to do, then, is find which editor/tool is adding that. Since I've some templates to get most new pages started, I just checked and found it in my primary editor. Somehow, it reminds me of the stoned virus in reverse. As long as I keep using templates. Same for various library-ish files. Only when something rather new is created does it show. Thanks and Kudos! * Templates to save me some work and keep users comfortable with something similar to what they've seen before.

But... regex??? Do you do regex searches for "myvar" as well? A space followed by a newline is just as literal as "myvavar"; you don't need regex for either. The editor probably requires some sort of quoting or escaping for the newline, but quoting is just an external syntax required by the input scanner. Every now and then I replace with throughout the source files of the solution, in one single sweep. Well, sometimes in two or three, maybe even more: Every now and then I manage to create empty lines with spaces up to the indentiation of the neighbour lines. So I often start out with <4 spaces> and click "Replace all in entire solution" until "0 replacements made". Then I change <4 spaces> to and click the button up to three times more. You might say that clicking the same button up to three times in a row imposes such a strain on your index finger that you prefer to save effort by writing a regexp to do the equivalent. I'll bet that executing the regexp would slow down the replacement so that it would take more time to complete than my quick button clicks, even without conting the time for writing the regex and ensuring that it works as intended.

You're replying to the wrong person. I'm merely pointing out that you don't need to copy things outside the editor to run a regex.

Dunno if it's baked in or an addon I'm using, but the auto-format that runs when I delete/replace the closing `}` at the end of a file eats end of line white space.

I'd rewrite all of it.
