So either, it really is a space, or it didn't copy in your message. I would suggest copying the string and pasting into a hex editor. Doing that with the "N.C. " from your message yields: 22 4E 2E 43 2E 20 22 The "20" is the ASCII "space" character. Just possibly, if you are using a file saved in a unicode format, it could be a "no-break space" - Unicode point U+00A0, or UTF-8 "c2 a0". Good luck.
