# Space Trimming

Space Trimming will remove unwanted spaces from you lines. There are three options:

- Remove leading spaces - Removes spaces before the first character on the lines.
- Remove trailing spaces - Removes spaces after the last character on the lines.
- Shrink multiple spaces into one - If several spaces are found next to each other they will be replaced by a single one.

Options:

- Trim whitespace characters too - Whitespace characters are invisible characters that are typically used by applications to control text flow. The most common is the tab(ular) character that indents text. If you enable this option, the normal space trimming functions (above) will also process these characters. (Technical: All characters with ASCII value less than 32 are considered whitespace.)
