Re: [Pharo-users] Skipping to a substring in a stream

Thank you both, PositionableStream>>upToAll worked fine ! On Tue, Feb 9, 2016 at 11:01 AM, Sven Van Caekenberghe <sven@stfx.eu> wrote:

Leonardo,

You could try PositionalStream>>#upToAll:

But watch out: if the substring does not occur, it will effectively read #upToEnd

HTH,

Hi,

I'd like to skip to a specific position in a stream based on a substring. I got the following example that works for a single character:

stream := 'abcdef' readStream. stream skipTo: $e. stream next. -→ $f

But it does not work for substrings. I'd like to have something like:

stream := 'abcdef' readStream. stream skipTo: 'de'. stream next. -→ "But this returns nil"

Do you know how to do it?

Thanks,

Leonardo
