>Description:
The following code recognizes whitespaces when using
gcc 3.0.

The reported versions of gcc don't recognize whitespaces.

This behavior prevents streams from reading strings word
by word. Thereby, the whole data gets readed if a
string is retrieved from the stream.(eg. cin >> myString;)

bool ParseFile(const char* fileName)
{
  if( !fileName )
    return false;
  
  ifstream inFile( fileName );

  if( !inFile )
    return false;

  inFile >> noskipws;

  char aChar;

  while( !inFile.eof() )
    {
      inFile >> aChar;
      cout << aChar << "[";

      if( isspace( aChar, inFile.getloc() ) )
	cout << " true ]" << endl;
      else
	cout << " false ]" << endl;
    }

  inFile.close();

  return true;
}
>How-To-Repeat:
The main program is this one:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  cout << "Result: " << ParseFile( argv[1] ) << "." <<  endl;

  return 0;
}

Compile with:

g++ -ggdb -o runMe main.cpp

Run with:

runMe [your_text_file]
