Regular space and html space (ascii 32 and 160 respectively)

Can anybody find the difference between the first and the second ‘testing abc’ in this file test.txt (.02 KB). Open the file and search for ‘testing’ (there should be 2 matches), ‘abc’ (2 matches) and then ‘testing abc’ (1 match). It is because the ‘space’ between the two words varies, one is a regular space and the other is a html space (not nbsp), their ascii values are 32 and 160 respectively. I figured this after converting the spaces to ascii values! (spent almost an hour)
