I have a text file like

STARTBUR001 20120416
20120416MES201667 20120320000000000201203210000000002012032200000000 02012032300000000020120324000000000201203260000000 00201203270000000002012032800000000020120329000000 00020120330000000000

Here all lines are single lines.
But what i want is like

STARTBUR001 20120416

END 0000000202

So in all i want to start checking from second line till i encounter END and delete all spaces at the end of each line.

Can someone guide me for writing this code??

Copy and edit the input file to a new file as follows:
begin loop
Read a line into a String and use the String class's method to replace the spaces in the String with an empty String: ""
Write the changed line out to the new file.
end loop
Delete the input, rename the new file.
