I am looking to parse a plaintext from a document. However, I am confused about
the actual methodology of it. This is because some of the words will be
multiple digits or characters. However, I don't know the length of the words
before the parse. Is there a way to somehow have open() grab something until it
sees a /t or ' '? I was thinking I could have it count ahead the number of
spaces till the stopping point and then parse till that point using read(), but
that seems sort of inefficient. Is there a better way to pull this off? Thanks
in advance.
John
