DrRacket Quickscript of the day

Quickscript (featured project of issue 38) provides an easy way to extend DrRacket with small Racket scripts to automate some actions in the editor, while avoiding the need to restart DrRacket. In this new section, contributed by Stephen De Gabrielle, we will be highlighting some of the most interesting scripts out there. Do you have a favourite script? Share it with us!

I'd like to thank Thorsten Blum for this weeks quickscript 'Remove trailing whitespace' that removes trailing spaces from the selected text:

#lang racket/base
(require quickscript racket/string)
(define-script whitespace
  #:label "Remove trailing whitespace"
  (λ (selection)
    (let ([linebreak (string #\newline)])
      (string-join
       (map (λ (line)
              (string-trim line #px"\\s+" #:left? #f))
            (string-split selection linebreak))
       linebreak))))

May be worth saying that it removes the trailing spaces in the selected text. (Otherwise one may try it without selecting anything and wonder why it 'fails'.)

I've just published the script at https://github.com/toblux/quickscript-user-scripts if that helps.
