I don't know how you read your text-file. But if it is for example with QTextStream, you coulc read line by line, call QString QString::simplified() const on it. that removes all leading and trailing whitespaces and reduces al other whitespaces to a simple single space. That should include tab and multiple spaces.
Than QString::splitRef(QChar::Space); on it and you have a vector of all your entries (in StringRef format) -> convert it to your container.
