Oh. Sorry, I guess I wasn't explicit enough in my reply -- I consider that
the behavior you encountered was a sort of bug. Although the code per se was
functioning correctly, it wasn't being smart enough about whitespace (it saw
whitespace like any other character). Changing the "rules" of recognition
allows it to handle whitespace specially.
In other words, you actually don't have to worry about what to do next time
it occurs because it won't happen again -- it's now much much more lenient
about columnar data with whitespace (e.g., tabular data).
You can now post your message exactly as you had originally intended.
