Description

Currently, no java uitility package offers a method to compare two strings which differ only in format & white spaces for equality. The common scenario when we need such a method would be (a) when one needs to perform equality check between two narrative fields in a SWIFT message or (b) to compare a paragrapgh retreived from different files.

Please advise on how i can share the code for this new method. thank you
