I use this script to remove blanks of beginning of a line.
To remove blanks from a text (with paragraphs) then:
set t to " "
set t to characters of t
if (count of t) > 0 then repeat while (contents of item 1 of t) is space
set t to rest of t
if (count of t) = 0 then exit repeat --- if you want to keep the space
--then change =0 to =1
end repeat
t as string
