TYPO3 Core

Since it works correctly without the space, I don't see a problem here.
This is a "comma seperated list" and seperation with comma works as expected.

You're right, it works as expected. But it is a bit inconsistent with other options.

For example:
mod.web_list.allowedNewTables
mod.web_list.deniedNewTables

Both accept spaces between table names, even if the data type is the same as hideTables (list of tablenames).
So maybe it just needs to be written in doc_core_tsconfig that spaces are not allowed...

IMO whitespace should be allowed as one might want to write something like that:

mod.web_list.hideTables (
tx_extension_table1,
tx_extension_table2,
tx_extension_table3,
tx_extension_table4,
...
)

problem is not the hideTables but t3lib_div::inList which doesn't work with spaces in comma seperated lists

Is there a reason not to use t3lib_div::trimExplode and in_array as it is with allowedNewTables and deniedNewTables? IMO I don't see any (actually I think it should have been that way from the start)?

I posted a patch as the necessary changes are very small and easy to do.

Hey Marcel.

Care to send this to the TYPO3 core list?

Hi Benjamin,

I did submit it to the list on March 8, but did not receive any feedback at all.

Best wishes, Marcel

Hey Marcel, I just reviewed your patch in the core list. Thank for your patience.
