When I started to modify lexlib to work with streams instead of just files (I have to parse stuff that could be on memory) I dicovered some new issues:
* How can I use standard input/ouput with streams? * Is there an easy way to do a ReadLn (or similar) with streams? The idea is instead of rewriting the lexlib io functions, I replace the standard io functions like Eof, ReadLn, Write and WriteLn. My initial idea was to read the whole stream on a TStrings, but that could waste a lot of memory.
Here is a unit that allows you to use ReadLn with streams. I know it works in Delphi. I have not tried it in FPC.

textfile is closed via CloseFile and it has to stay in existence as
long as the textfile is open.
