This class provides functions that read text datas using an input stream.

+So, you can read {\it text} floats, integers.
The wxTextInputStream correctly reads text files (or streams) in DOS, Macintosh
and Unix formats and reports a single newline char as a line ending.
Note, however, that the arguments are the fixed size types wxUint32, wxInt32 etc
and on a typical 32-bit computer, none of these match to the "long" type (wxInt32
is defined as int on 32-bit architectures) so that you cannot use long. To avoid
-problems (here and elsewhere), make use of the wxInt32, wxUint32, etc types.
+problems (here and elsewhere), make use of wxInt32, wxUint32 and similar types.
+
+If you're scanning through a file using wxTextInputStream, you should check for EOF {\bf before}
+reading the next item (word / number), because otherwise the last item may get lost.
+You should however be prepared to receive an empty item (empty string / zero number) at the
+end of file, especially on Windows systems. This is unavoidable because most (but not all) files end
+with whitespace (i.e. usually a newline).
For example:
+
\begin{verbatim}
wxFileInputStream input( "mytext.txt" );
wxTextInputStream text( input );

+\func{wxUint8}{Read8}{\param{int}{ base = 10}}

+Reads a single unsigned byte from the stream, given in base {\it base}.
-\func{wxUint8}{Read8}{\void}
+The value of {\it base} must be comprised between $2$ and $36$, inclusive, or
+be a special value $0$ which means that the usual rules of {\tt C} numbers are
+applied: if the number starts with {\tt 0x} it is considered to be in base
+$16$, if it starts with {\tt 0} - in base $8$ and in base $10$ otherwise. Note
+that you may not want to specify the base $0$ if you are parsing the numbers
+which may have leading zeroes as they can yield unexpected (to the user not
+familiar with C) results.
