I do not understand what you are saying or asking.
Normally #asPetitStream should convert any non-memory stream to an
efficient in-memory representation. Maybe this does not work properly
in the Pharo version you are using? Or maybe your file is too big to
be loaded into memory?
While it is technically possible to use PetitParser on an external
stream (such as a file or socket stream) it is not advisable.
PetitParser requires highly efficient random access to the parsed data
and anything else than an indexed in-memory collection slows down the
parsing by magnitudes.

Hello all,
We are using petitParser with a Stream by the parse method on a PPParser.
This parse method calls asPetitStream on our stream which is supposed to
return a stream with a valid format for PPParser. The problem is that this
stream do not represent our test file but a lot of white spaces. this code:
(StandardFileStream fileNamed: '/some/path/to/file/atextfile.txt' )
asPetitStream proves that.
Did someone else have a similar problem with petit parser?
thanx,
Usman & Guillaume
