It would not surprise me if it is correct to remove whitespace, 
but Riggs did not mention doing so. Riggs only mentioned 
punctuation, newlines and line numbers. The line numbers would 
likely be trailed by whitespace, but we should hear from Riggs 
about the appropriateness of removing whitespace. 

Some sample short strings and some sample text to search through 
would help show the problem that has not been completely been 
defined.
