The Code for: "RemoveTrailingSpacesTabs [removes spaces and tabs].cmd.txt"

This is the example, a shortcut was installed to this code :

::@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
:: $Header:   C:/DBAREIS/Projects.PVCS/Win32/ScriptingTipsAndTricks/EXAMPLE[cmd].RemoveTrailingSpacesTabs [removes spaces and tabs].cmd.txt.pvcs   1.0   29 Jun 2014 12:51:22   USER "Dennis"  $
::@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


set TheDir=C:\TEMP\   &rem ends in spaces and trailing "\"...

:RemoveTrailingSpacesTabs
    if "%TheDir:~-1%" == " "     set TheDir=%TheDir:~0,-1%& goto RemoveTrailingSpacesTabs
    if "%TheDir:~-1%" == "%TAB%" set TheDir=%TheDir:~0,-1%& goto RemoveTrailingSpacesTabs
    if "%TheDir:~-1%" == "\" set TheDir=%TheDir:~0,-1%


Goto :EOF

Please note that that I am not trying to show how great I am by producing batch files 9,000 characters long on one line that no one will understand or be able to debug when they go wrong. I am going out of my way to comment the code and make it verbose so beginners and advanced users will both benefit. I don't claim to be an expert that knows everything, if I'm wrong or make a mistake then please contact me and let me know :-)
