Anyone have an implementation of upTo: aString for use with either a string or stream?

I figured I'd ask before I roll my own.. I'm looking for something
that will really be used with streams and will stop when the
specified string is found.. If it doesn't exist then I'll gen one
up.. Thx!

You mean like PositionableStream>>upToAll:?

But note the gotcha: upTo: leaves the position AFTER the search argument, upToAll: leaves the position BEFORE the search argument. I've often wondered about this difference (copyReplaceAll: 'wondered' with: 'cursed volubly' :->)

Using upToAndSkipThroughAll: will give you the familiar 'AFTER' behaviour.

Cheers,

Steve

Actually in my case I'd prefer the 'BEFORE' behavior as it fits right in
with my existing logic.. :)
