Hi all,
I've got a file of C code which for part of the file has an extra single space indent on the left hand side. To fix this I'm trying to do a regex search for "^ " and replace it with "" (ie empty string). Unfortunately, this search/replace removes all space indentation which is not really what I expect.
Any clues on getting this right? Is this a bug?
What version are you using?
Cheers Lex
Actually having a bit of a think, it can't work since after replacing the first space with nothing it will find another space at the same place and remove it until it removes all the spaces at the start of the line before moving on to the next.
So its working right, just not what you want :-) & I'm not sure how to do it.
Cheers Lex
Erik
