  Description
 
  The istrstream class supports input streams that have character arrays
  as a source. You must allocate a character array prior to the
  construction of an istrstream object. All the istream operators and
  functions (including seeking) can then be used on this character data.
 
  You must be aware that there is a get pointer working behind the scenes
  in the attached strstreambuf class. This pointer advances as you extract
  fields from the stream's array. The only way you can make it go
  backwards is to use the istream::seekg function. If the get pointer
  reaches the end of the string (and sets the ios::eof flag), then you
  must call clear before seekg.
