Detailed Description

Provides general string-parsing functions suitable for numeric format conversions and syntactical-element parsing.

The class is the 8-bit variant for non-Unicode strings and 8-bit wide characters.

An instance of this class stores a string, maintaining an extraction mark to indicate the current lexical element being analysed and a pointer to the next character to be examined.

Objects of this type are normally accessed through the build independent type TLex.
