in thread \s vs \t

Out of curiousity, how would s/\s+$// match anything to the LEFT of something other than a newline or end-of-string?

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

    silly me! I kept thinking he was doing /^\s+/. It was actually matching a newline. Updated.
