Deprecated: As of JDK version 1.1, the preferred way to tokenize an input stream is to convert it into a character stream, for example:

   Reader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
   StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer(r);

Creates a stream tokenizer that parses the specified input stream. The stream tokenizer is initialized to the following default state:

All byte values 'A' through 'Z', 'a' through 'z', and '\u00A0' through '\u00FF' are considered to be alphabetic.
All byte values '\u0000' through '\u0020' are considered to be white space.
'/' is a comment character.
Single quote '\'' and double quote '"' are string quote characters.
Numbers are parsed.
Ends of lines are treated as white space, not as separate tokens.
C-style and C++-style comments are not recognized.

Parameters:

is an input stream.
