How to delete space in beginning of each line

[josh]

Hi!
I was sent a big file with e-mails. All the e-mails have a space
before the e-mail
Ex:
123...@aol.com
zzk...@gmail.com

Should be:
123...@aol.com
zzk...@gmail.com
(space in beginning of line was removed)

Any function to do that for all the document at once?

Thanks!

Open your file, then hit CMD-f

Then in the Find: box write "\r " <- note extra space after the "r"

In the Replace: box write "\r" <- note the missing space after the "r"

Then click "Replace all".

A more general option would be to enable Grep in the Find dialog
and use:

find pattern: ^ * [with a space between ^ and *]
replace pattern: [empty]

The * in the find pattern will make it match any number of
spaces at the beginning of a line. If you want to remove only
the first space, omit the *.

If you want to remove all white space characters (space, tab,
etc.) from the beginning of lines, rather than just spaces, use
^\s* for the find pattern.
