Bug in StrReadWord? - Gpc

7 Feb 2001


      I'm using StrReadWord to parse a line of input to my program. If the 
last 'word' is a single character, then it doesn't get read. Is this 
behaviour intentional?
Example:
program test(output);
uses StringUtils;
var
    src : string ="abc xy";
    dest : string;
    i : integer;
begin
   i := 1;
while StrReadWord(src,i,dest) do
      writeln(i,dest:10)
end.
This produces, as I expected:
4       abc
7        xy
But if the last character of the string is removed:
src : string ="abc x";
the output becomes:
4       abc
What happened to the 'x'?
I'm using gpc 20010115.
