sed -i  s    blank     1        YourFile     blank   is for space  tab mainly and  1   to exclude  no space at the end  of the substitution process  no big significant impact if line are short and file are small

If your lines are exactly the way you depict them no leading or embedded spaces   the following should serve as well  awk    1  1 print   file txt

This might work for you  GNU sed    sed -ri     s   s     file   This looks for whitespace at the end of the line and and if present removes it

Use either a simple blank   or   blank    to remove all possible spaces at the end of the line   sed  s        file   Using the   blank   class you are removing spaces and tabs   sed  s    blank         file   Note this is POSIX  hence compatible in both GNU sed and BSD   For just GNU sed you can use the GNU extension  s  to match spaces and tabs  as described in BaBL86 s answer  See POSIX specifications on Basic Regular Expressions     Let s test it with a simple file consisting on just lines  two with just spaces and the last one also with tabs     cat -vet file hello     bye     ha I          there is a tab here   Remove just spaces     sed  s        file   cat -vet - hello  bye  ha I          tab is still here    Remove spaces and tabs     sed  s    blank         file   cat -vet - hello  bye  ha            tab was removed
