The common operation in text editing and formatting is to manage spaces, tabs, and line endings in a text document. Notepad++ has dedicated sections with functions to help users clean up or format their text documents as needed and it is called "Blank Operations" which you can find under Edit.
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
| Trim Trailing Space | Removes any trailing (at the end) spaces from each line in a document. |
| Trim Leading Space | Removes any leading (at the beginning) spaces from each line in a document. |
| Trim Leading and Trailing Space | Removes both leading and trailing spaces from each line in a document. |
| EOL to Space | Replaces the end-of-line (EOL) characters with space, effectively joining lines into a paragraph. |
| Trim both and EOL to Space | Removes leading and trailing spaces and replaces EOL characters with spaces. |
| TAB to Space | Replaces tab characters with space characters. |
| Space to TAB (All) | Replaces consecutive spaces with tab characters throughout the document. |
| Space to TAB (Leading) | Replaces consecutive leading (at the beginning of each line) spaces with tab characters. |
Example:
Now when we make use of the "Trim Leading and Trailing Space" we get our desired result as follows.
