in thread Reading a huge input line in parts

Could this not be simplified?

And what happens when your buffer size splits a multi-digit number in two?

Ie. Run your code against this input:

123 456 789 1

[download]

And it produces: 123 456 78 9 1

And doesn't notice that the last number is supposed to be 0.
