Hi,

When it says "ignore blanks" does it mean ignore blank-line or blank-space
or both? If I ignore blank-space as well, then the following lines will
not differ:

nospacesinbetween
no spaces in between

Thanks,
Johnny

True.

We would typically use the command discussed in this question on code
files, where "if ( a == b ) a = 1;" is effectively the same as
"if(a==b)a=1;"
