Hi,

The 1st command below correctly reports trailing spaces, for Unix and Windows format files.

The 2nd one incorrectly reports all lines.

grep -sHn -i " [[:cntrl:]]*$" *.vhd

grep -sHn -i "\s[[:cntrl:]]*$" *.vhd

grep -V

grep (GNU grep) 3.0

Packaged by Cygwin (3.0-2)

cmd --help

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.5371]

Kind Regards

Brockmann
