Subject: Re: Byte–stream parsing in Ruby

Thanks to everybody involved here, I now have a great solution that 
works really well. I also ended up using EventMachine to get the 
individual bytes from the keyboard, it’s a lot more efficient. Here’s my 
final solution, incase anybody’s interested:

    require 'eventmachine'

    module Handler
      def initialize
        @buffer = ""
      end

      def receive_data byte
        byte.force_encoding Encoding.find('locale')
        @buffer << byte
        check_buffer
      end

      private
        def check_buffer
          if @buffer.valid_encoding?
            p @buffer
            @buffer = ""
          end
        end
    end

    EM.run{ EM.open_keyboard Handler }
