I am trying to parse some .txt files. These files serve as containers for a variable number of 'children' files that are set off or identified within the container with SGML tags.

I have a method that takes either a StringReader instance (reading from the clipboard) or a StreamReader instance (reading from a file) and, at present, casts either one as a TextReader instance.
