Overview

BufferedTokenizer takes a delimiter upon instantiation, or acts line-based by default. It allows input to be spoon-fed from some outside source which receives arbitrary length datagrams which may-or-may-not contain the token by which entities are delimited.

Commonly used to parse lines out of incoming data:

module LineBufferedConnection
  def receive_data(data)
    (@buffer ||= BufferedTokenizer.new).extract(data).each do |line|
      receive_line(line)
    end
  end
end
