[daip] Spaces in a source name.

[marcel clemens]

Dear NRAO astronomer,

I am trying to run 'split' on a multi-source file from the GMRT.
For some sources I get the (familiar) message:

ALL SOURCES REJECTED BY SELECTION CRITERIA.

This only happens for some sources in the dataset. The sources that give 
problems seem to have names that contain spaces. 

LISTR output for example:

   1 0321+123        : 0000         03:21:53.1066  12:21:14.025   16095
   2 UGC2369            : 0000         02:54:01.8166  14:58:14.529   47415
   3 3C147             : 0000         05:42:36.1330  49:51:07.165   24360
   4 0909+428        : 0000         09:09:33.5078  42:53:46.471   59595

You see, UGC2369 seems to have spaces in the name.

However, spaces seem to get ignored when I enter source name in SPLIT:

sources 'UGC2369  '  becomes sources 'UGC2369'

What is the best way around this problem?

Marcel.
