This script will recursively remove all trailing white spaces in all text files in a given directory. Binary files and files residing in version control specific directories are skipped.
As an addition one can also let it clean out obsolete or empty/superfluous
Modelica annotations in *.mo files.
It uses Adam Hupp's python-magic as binary tester.
As a fallback (especially if libmagic is not available, like on Windows) it acts only on files with a given file extension listed in 'extstring'.
You can find the latest stable releases under the releases link.
- System requirement: Python >= 2.6 or Python 3.x
Easiest way to install ttws is to use pip. This will install (and update) ttws and also all its dependencies.
$ sudo pip install -U ttws
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip.exe install -U ttws
Usage: ttws [OPTIONS] <directory> [<directory> ...]
This script will recursively scan all text files in a given list of
directories and remove all trailing white space in every line as well
as multiple blank lines at the end of the file. Binary files and files
residing in '.bzr', '.cvs', '.git', '.hg', '.svn' directories are skipped.
Since the main application is for Modelica projects it expects all files
to be of type ASCII or UTF8. Otherwise it will throw an exception,
report the illegal file and terminate.
Note for Windows users:
If you do not have libmagic installed, the script will fall back to
only trim files with the following extensions:
.mo,.mos,.c,.h,.cpp,.txt,.order
Options:
-h, --help
displays this help message
-v, --version
displays version information
-s, --strip
strips leading or trailing white spaces from info or
revision strings that contain HTML documentation
(those disturb the proper HTML rendering in 'some' tools)
--eol=[CRLF|LF|CR]
Force the line endings to be of type:
- CRLF = '\r\n' Windows
- LF = '\n' POSIX
- CR = '\r' Mac (pre OSX)
If empty or not specified it is set to the OS default.
-c, --clean
WARNING: USE THIS OPTION AT YOUR OWN RISK AS
IT *MIGHT* BREAK YOUR CODE!
Removes obsolete or superfluous annotation constructs
from Modelica files.
Only use this if your code is under version control
and in combination with a careful code-diff review.
-b, --blanks
suppress repeated empty output lines from *.mo files
(This option should not be run in combination with others.)
