Ok, I didn't catch that it managed a mixed sequence -- a quick read of the
man on tr -s (--squeeze-repeats) made it look as if it was _repeats_ of a
character.
|( echo "$WHITE" |tr -s ' \t' '\n' ) >> $WHITELIST
or, as per my, "just in case there's trailing whitespace" mod:
|( echo -n "$WHITE "|tr -s ' \t' '\n' ) >> $WHITELIST
So there's the way to do it with little fuss and no uglies.
