I am trying to use the 2.0 streams library to implement a simple scanf type
routine. Basically I have an array of characters from an istream and want to
parse the array delimited by the colon. The array has several fields and I 
want to get each into its own variable. How is this done with istrstream.
I can get istrstream to read an entire line but how do you tell istrstream
to read until a specific character or a predetermined length.
