Creates a matcher of String that matches when the examined string is equal to the specified expectedString, when whitespace differences are (mostly) ignored. To be exact, the following whitespace rules are applied: 

  
all leading and trailing whitespace of both the expectedString and the examined string are ignored
  
any remaining whitespace, appearing within either string, is collapsed to a single space before comparison


For example:
assertThat("   my\tfoo  bar ", equalToIgnoringWhiteSpace(" my  foo bar"))
Params:
