Considering and Ignoring Attributes

AppleScript defines the attributes application responses , case , diacriticals , expansion , hyphens , punctuation , and white space for comparisons that use Considering or Ignoring statements. These attributes are described in Table A-2. They specify whether to consider or ignore specific characteristics when performing an evaluation.

ignoring white space

    "Hello Bob" = "HelloBob" --result: true

end considering
