question: private static String removeLeadingSpace ( String raw ) { char c ; int i = 0 ; for ( ; i < raw . length ( ) ; i ++ ) { c = raw . charAt ( i ) ; if ( c != ' ' && c != '\t' ) { break ; } } return raw . substring ( i , raw . length ( ) ) ; }
target:  Remove leading space and tab from the raw String and return the new String.
