I think the following code would be slightly more efficient, since there are fewer function calls. It relies on the fact that the text reader returns a null character when it reaches the end of its text:

while (true)
{
FW_LChar ch = reader->GetCharacterAndAdvance();
if (ch == 0) break; // end of text
string.Append(ch);
if (ch == chTab || ch == chReturn)
break;
}
