class RooStreamParser


 RooStreamParser is a utility class to parse istreams into tokens and optionally
 convert them into basic types (double,int,string)

 The general tokenizing philosophy is that there are two kinds of tokens: value
 and punctuation. The former are variable length, the latter always
 one character. A token is terminated if one of the following conditions
 occur
         - space character found (' ',tab,newline)
         - change of token type (value -> punctuation or vv)
         - end of fixed-length token (punctuation only)
         - start or end of quoted string

 The parser is aware of floating point notation and will assign leading
 minus signs, decimal points etc to a value token when this is obvious
 from the context. The definition of what is punctuation can be redefined.

Function documentation

RooStreamParser(istream& is)
 Construct parser on given input stream
RooStreamParser(istream& is, const TString& errPrefix)
 Construct parser on given input stream. Use given errorPrefix to
 prefix any parsing error messages
~RooStreamParser()
 Destructor
Bool_t atEOL()
 If true, parser is at end of line in stream
void setPunctuation(const TString& punct)
 Change list of characters interpreted as punctuation
Bool_t isPunctChar(char c) const
 Check if given char is considered punctuation
TString readToken()
 Read one token separated by any of the know punctuation characters
 This function recognizes and handles comment lines in the istream (those
 starting with '#', quoted strings ("") the content of which is not tokenized
 and '+-.' characters that are part of a floating point numbers and are exempt
 from being interpreted as a token separator in case '+-.' are defined as
 token separators.
TString readLine()
 Read an entire line from the stream and return as TString
 This method recognizes the use of '\\' in the istream
 as line continuation token.
void zapToEnd(Bool_t inclContLines = kFALSE)
 Eat all characters up to and including then end of the
 current line. If inclContLines is kTRUE, all continuation lines
 marked by the '\\' token are zapped as well
Bool_t expectToken(const TString& expected, Bool_t zapOnError = kFALSE)
 Read the next token and return kTRUE if it is identical to the given 'expected' token.
Bool_t readDouble(Double_t& value, Bool_t zapOnError = kFALSE)
 Read the next token and convert it to a Double_t. Returns true
 if an error occurred in reading or conversion
Bool_t convertToDouble(const TString& token, Double_t& value)
 Convert given string to a double. Return true if the conversion fails.
Bool_t readInteger(Int_t& value, Bool_t zapOnError = kFALSE)
 Read a token and convert it to an Int_t. Returns true
 if an error occurred in reading or conversion
Bool_t convertToInteger(const TString& token, Int_t& value)
 Convert given string to an Int_t. Returns true if an error
 occurred in conversion
Bool_t readString(TString& value, Bool_t zapOnError = kFALSE)
 Read a string token. Returns true if an error occurred in reading
 or conversion.  If a the read token is enclosed in quotation
 marks those are stripped in the returned value
Bool_t convertToString(const TString& token, TString& string)
 Convert given token to a string (i.e. remove eventual quotation marks)
RooStreamParser(istream& is)
 Constructors, assignment etc.
TString getPunctuation() const
{ return _punct ; }
Bool_t atEOF()
{ return _atEOF ; }
