textfield

Hi

I'm trying to calculate the textWidth, but it seems to ignore the white spaces at the end. The text

"Hello" "Hello "

returns the same text width. A string with " " returns 0. How do I calculate the width with the space?

regex to match trailing whitespace, but not lines which are entirely whitespace (indent placeholders

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I've been trying to construct a ruby regex which matches trailing spaces - but not indentation placeholders - so I can gsub them out. I had this /\b[\t ]+$/ and it was working a treat until I realised it only works when the line ends are [a-zA-Z]. :-( So I evolved it into this /(?!^[\t ]+)[\t ]+$/… >>> More
