Well, Unicode says something about it (there is a property 'White_Space'). Check for example http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/ch15.pdf I think with the introduction of Unicode into the different Eiffel compilers it becomes important to have a general understanding what whitespace is. At least I currently do not like hardcoded characters lying around in the code. Try the following on the GOBO library find . -name '*.e' | xargs grep '%R' | grep '%T' and you know what I mean. ;-) Bernd To Post a message, send it to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send a blank message to: [email protected] Yahoo!
