I really hope they used tabs instead of spaces .... space space space space space if ah equals equals bee ... space space space space space space space space space ...

I'm going insane just thinking about counting spaces.

Or instead of "space space space space space space space space" they could just say "eight spaces".

Pipe/redirect through sed to change start of line spaces to string format of #8 #; followed by rest of line.

Without semicolin after final # comments whole line.
