Usage

var trimlines = require('gulp-trimlines');

gulp.task('trim-text', function() {
  return gulp.src('*.txt')
    .pipe(trimlines())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./'));
});

This will trim leading and trailing spaces in each text file in place.

4. trailingPattern regex string pattern for trailing characters to trim, defaults to '[ \\t]+' (spaces and tabs - note that tab has to be double escaped)
5. pattern regex string pattern for entire line, when present the leading, leadingPattern, trailing and trailingPattern options are ignored
6. encoding character encoding to use when loading file buffers, defaults to uft8

    leading: false
  }))
