Date: Sat, 28 Oct 95 22:10:53 EDT From: tynor (Steve Tynor) Subject: fwd: [jacob@blackbox.enmu.edu] read_word To: nice-esg-libs I note that `read_word' was deleted between PELKS-7 and PELKS-8. Was that intentional, or an oversight? If it is returned, we should be careful to define what delimits a "word" (for reference, in the current Tower implementation, a `word' is any sequence of characters except 'whitespace', skipping leading whitespace (where whitespace is defined by CHARACTER_REF:is_space (unfortunately not in the standard...) as in STD_FILES: read_word -- Read a string excluding white space and stripping leading white -- space. Make result available in `last_string'. in CHARACTER_REF: is_space : BOOLEAN -- Is `item' a space, formfeed, newline, carriage return, tab or -- vertical tab? ------- start of forwarded message (RFC 934 encapsulation) ------- From: "Jacob Gore"
