I have been writing regexes for a long time :-).

I just tried it out with Perl and Python (two langauges I rarely
use) and found their behaviour to be the same as that of Geany.

My main use of regexes was actually in the Nedit editor and I had
somehow come to assume that Nedit regexes were the standard when
obviously this isn't the case.

Yes, that does work as long as the trailing whitespace is only
spaces. It doesn't work if its a mixture of tabs and spaces.
For that something like "[ \t]+$" is required which is a little
less convienient than what I was used to, but I'm sure I can
learn to live with it.

Cheers,
Erik
