Notepad++ - search for " \n" in extended character search mode. Or, if you want it a little more challenging, you can do the same thing in Microsoft Word, but that probably isn't the correct instruction for that program (and I'm not going to figure it out)!

My editor trims trailing whitespace.
Trailing whitespace is about the only kind I don't like. 
|
|
|
|
|
Visual Studio's editor used to have a rather convenient way of finding trailing whitespace using regular expressions. The newer releases have made it far less convenient.

Maybe paste the code into a text-editor that allows you to search using regular expressions (i.e., Notepad++) and search using "^.+\s$"?

You can do regex searches in Visual Studio.

But... regex???
Do you do regex searches for "myvar" as well? A space followed by a newline is just as literal as "myvavar"; you don't need regex for either. The editor probably requires some sort of quoting or escaping for the newline, but quoting is just an external syntax required by the input scanner.
Every now and then I replace <space><newline> with <newline> throughout the source files of the solution, in one single sweep.
Well, sometimes in two or three, maybe even more: Every now and then I manage to create empty lines with spaces up to the indentiation of the neighbour lines. So I often start out with <4 spaces><newline> and click "Replace all in entire solution" until "0 replacements made". Then I change <4 spaces> to <space> and click the button up to three times more. You might say that clicking the same button up to three times in a row imposes such a strain on your index finger that you prefer to save effort by writing a regexp to do the equivalent. I'll bet that executing the regexp would slow down the replacement so that it would take more time to complete than my quick button clicks, even without conting the time for writing the regex and ensuring that it works as intended.

You're replying to the wrong person. I'm merely pointing out that you don't need to copy things outside the editor to run a regex.

For me, it's having CP ask me how I want to paste whenever I paste -- and then assuming the wrong default, which adds insult to injury.

If it's in VS then maybe something like CodeMaid can help by formatting / cleaning code.

Alternative approach: Switch programming language. Start using Whitespace.

Dunno if it's baked in or an addon I'm using, but the auto-format that runs when I delete/replace the closing } at the end of a file eats end of line white space.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Little bit. As I've been working more with using it as a planning tool, I actually like it better.

I don't know whether to hit the joke or the rant icon. Or both.
I can't even make a phone call from the phone at my desk. After smashing some buttons, the phone is "booting." I kid you not. It's a VOIP, currently doing a DHCP lookup or whatever. Now it's doing HTTP calls. There's a screen showing what it's doing...still not working....

Well, most have a vibrate mode. Or so I've been reminded by some lady-friends.
More details than that, and we'll need to move this to the soapbox.
