Description

Wouldn't it be good if whitespaces/control characters where ignored when comparing the test output file with the expected output file so that if someone had generated the expected output file without using a <LF> (0x0A) character but the test output did have a <LF> then when the two outputs where compared, the pattern matcher would still say that they are a match. This is also true of tabs, single and multiple spaces and capitalisation. For example, "The result is 2<CR><LF>The Flag is<TAB> false<CR>" would be the same as "theresultis2theflagisFALSE"
