The CompressSpaces, FoldDoubledQuotes, and QuotesBreak methods

These readWrite properties all return or set a boolean value.

The CompressSpaces property

CompressSpaces compresses the intermediate spaces in a string of whitespace characters. For example, consider the following %toke StringTokenizer string, defined with a blank as the whitespace character and with comma as a non-token separator character:

this, is a compression , example

Without compression, repeated calls of %toke:NextToken strip the leading and trailing whitespace and select the following tokens:

this is a compression example

Without compression, that is, with CompressSpaces set to True, the result is:

this is a compression example

CompressSpaces compresses a token's intermediate whitespace to a single whitespace character. If multiple whitespace characters are defined, the first character in the Spaces string is the character to which intermediate whitespace is compressed. For example, if Spaces='X ', the token 'foot ball' will compress to 'footXball'.

The CompressSpaces default value is False.

Note: CompressSpaces affects processing only when one or more Separators characters are set, because otherwise a token cannot contain internal whitespace.

The FoldDoubledQuotes property

If the FoldDoubledQuotes property is set to True, the tokenizer considers two adjacent Quotes characters to be an escape sequence for a single quotation character.
