---------------------------------
Summary: Copyright matcher fails for some input.
Key: RAT-507
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-507
Project: Apache Rat
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core engine
Affects Versions: 0.17
Reporter: Claude Warren
When matching the owner name the input string is taken as a literal. However,
if the file in which the copyright notice was placed has wrapped the text there
will be other non-space characters, including leading comment characters or
formatting characters.
This change should process the owner name string and replace any contiguous
whitspace characters with "\W+" In addition any tokens (the things at the
beginning, ending, and between the whitespace) should be surrounded with "\Q"
and "\E" to prohibit the token from being parsed.
