feature(s) from INPUT_STREAM
-- Skipping separators:
skip_separators
-- Skip all separators (see is_separator of class CHARACTER) and
-- make the first non-separator available in last_character. This
-- non-separator character is pushed back into the stream (see
-- unread_character) to be available one more time (the next
-- read_character will consider this non-separator). When
-- end_of_input occurs, this process is automatically stopped.

feature(s) from INPUT_STREAM
-- To read one number at a time:
read_integer
-- Read an integer according to the Eiffel syntax.
-- Make result available in last_integer.
-- Heading separators are automatically skipped using
-- is_separator of class CHARACTER.
-- Trailing separators are not skipped.
require

last_integer: INTEGER
-- Last integer read using read_integer.
read_real
-- Read a REAL and make the result available in last_real

last_real: REAL
-- Last real read with read_real.
read_double

last_double: DOUBLE
-- Last double read with read_double.
feature(s) from INPUT_STREAM
-- To read one line or one word at a time:
last_string: STRING
-- Access to the unique common buffer to get for example the result
-- computed by read_line, read_word, newline, etc. This is a
-- once function (the same common buffer is used for all streams).
read_line
-- Read a complete line ended by '%N' or end_of_input. Make the
-- result available in last_string common buffer. The end of line
-- character (usually '%N') is not added in the last_string buffer.
require

not is_filtered;

read_word
-- Read a word using is_separator of class CHARACTER. The result is
-- available in the last_string common buffer. Heading separators are
-- automatically skipped. Trailing separators are not skipped
-- (last_character is left on the first one). If end_of_input is
-- encountered, Result can be the empty string.

reach_and_skip (keyword: STRING)
-- Try to skip enough characters in order to reach the keyword
-- which is skipped too. If the keyword is not in the remainder of
-- this stream, the process is stopped as soon as end_of_input
-- occurs. As for skip_separators the following character of the
