<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body> Hi Juan, guys, I would like to add to Cuis the 2 methods i attach here. One is a helper method. ----------- StandardFileStream strictUpTo: delim. ----------- Differently from 'upTo: delim' this method: 1. Does not return stuff if it does not find 'delim'. 2. Does not upgrade the position on the stream if does not find 'delim'. 3. If it finds 'delim' returns a chunk that includes it. I am parsing log files at the moment, this is very much useful. NOTE. Up to now I tested only on small files. bye Nicola </body> </html>
