That precludes easy changes where we consider whitespace significant. My example showed:
Then "X123" would be the same as "X 123", but "XA YB" would mean "X#<A> Y#<B>" while "XAYB" would mean "X#<AYB>". If this were old style code (XA YB) it would not be valid because it contains two letters in a row. By eliminating the early whitespace removal, 'XA YB' and 'AXYB' would mean two different things. 'X 123' and 'X123' would still be interpreted identically. Ken ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
