Consider the input "X A:middle". Step 4 reads and consumes the "X". Step 6 sets 'setting' to "" (since " " != ":"). Step 7 consumes " ". Step 9 consumes the rest of the string (via "Otherwise..."). If steps 6-7 did not consume anything but a ':', it would instead be: Step 4 reads and consumes the "X". Step 6 sets 'setting' to "" (since " " != ":"). Step 9 consumes nothing Step 4 reads and consumes the "A" ... 59330 2 zcorpan 2011-10-31 22:16:15 +0000 I think maybe we should allow some whitespace here, so that you can write e.g. A : middle 59345 3 ian 2011-11-01 02:10:53 +0000 Oops, yeah, the handling here is poor. I'll fix that. I disagree with comment 2; the idea is that each setting is a separate space-separated token. 59408 4 ian 2011-11-01 16:17:50 +0000 Fixed in r6806; sorry, I typoed the bug number in the checkin comment.
