It would help if you were to say (1) what "ignore ... characters" means -- pretend they don't exist? (2) what are "special chararacters" -- non-alphanumeric? (3) what "treat them like normal strings" means (4) how you expect these special characters to be (a) ignored and (b) "treated like normal strings" /at the same time/.
