10 @class wxTextInputStream
11 @wxheader{txtstrm.h}
12
13 This class provides functions that read text datas using an input stream.
14 So, you can read @e text floats, integers.
15
16 The wxTextInputStream correctly reads text files (or streams) in DOS, Macintosh
17 and Unix formats and reports a single newline char as a line ending.
18
19 Operator is overloaded and you can use this class like a standard C++ iostream.
20 Note, however, that the arguments are the fixed size types wxUint32, wxInt32 etc
21 and on a typical 32-bit computer, none of these match to the "long" type
22 (wxInt32
23 is defined as int on 32-bit architectures) so that you cannot use long. To avoid
24 problems (here and elsewhere), make use of wxInt32, wxUint32 and similar types.
25
26 If you're scanning through a file using wxTextInputStream, you should check for
27 EOF @b before
28 reading the next item (word / number), because otherwise the last item may get
29 lost.
30 You should however be prepared to receive an empty item (empty string / zero
31 number) at the
32 end of file, especially on Windows systems. This is unavoidable because most
33 (but not all) files end
34 with whitespace (i.e. usually a newline).
35
36 For example:
37
38 @code
39 wxFileInputStream input( "mytext.txt" );
40 wxTextInputStream text( input );
41 wxUint8 i1;
42 float f2;
43 wxString line;
44
45 text i1; // read a 8 bit integer.
46 text i1 f2; // read a 8 bit integer followed by float.
47 text line; // read a text line
48 @endcode
