Some of the characters that look like spaces are some other weird
character. There's lots of them.

What you can do is to globally replace that weird character with space.
Try this:

Use the mouse to highlight the first character on the line that says
        look_at <0, 1, 2>
press Control-H to bring up the Replace dialogue. Leave the thing that
looks like a space in the [Find] box and type a real space into the
[Replace] box. Click [Replace all].


The try to avoid doing whatever you did to get those bogus charaters in
there in the first place.
