Thanks JJ,
Here's my tweaks for use outside of repositories where undoing changes isn't so easy:
file_ext="py"
find . -name "*$file_ext" | xargs sed -i_$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M) 's/ *$//g'
Where file_ext is the extension of the files you want to operate on. _$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M) will ask sed to make a backup of the original file with a timestamp appended to the name.
Eric.
Yep, very good.
