What's wrong with just using the built in Trim White Spaces?  There is an option to have it only trim the end.  This way you can remove multiple spaces that are trailing (which I have ran into plenty of times).

Hi crossrulz,

The built-in Trim Whitespace VI will remove all spaces, tabs, carriage returns, and linefeeds. There are times when you may want to cycle through many strings and remove the spaces, but leave tabs or carriage returns at the ends of other strings. Basically, this gives you a little more specificity.
