String 'A B' equal to 'AB'

Hi guys,

It seems (no it really does. :) ) that TM1 treats 'A B' same as 'AB' and 'A B'.
And the other way around 'C D' to 'CD'

Even this --> 'ABC DEF' is equal to 'AB CD EF', to 'AB c d E f'

A little issue-maker. :)

Actually I noticed this before, years ago. It's just that my new client HAS data like these.
Anyone knows if there's anything they plan to do about it? Haha.

I didn't care about it though, until I encountered these data.

TM1 trims out all spaces. and still applies case insentivity.

(I put many spaces in the middles of my samples, but the canvas also trims to only 1)

This is documented behaviour - see the Object Naming Conventions section (regarding Case Sensitivity and Spaces in Object Names).
