// FILE NAME:	StringParser.h
//
// PURPOSE:		Definition of the CStringParser class.
//
// DESCRIPTION:	This class acepts a string and immediately parses it into 
//				separate fields based on the delimiter character specified by 
//				the programmer.  The separated fields are stored in a 
//				CStringArray, and the 0th element in the array contains the 
//				original string.  Access to the separated fields is 1-based 
//				(the first field is in index 1, and so on).
