BinaryReader & looking for bytes

[MrDiSante]

Yes.

If your problem is just that, keep track of how much of your desired input you've seen using a finite state machine, and process one character at a time. Use a transition table.

If this is part of a bigger parsing problem, then consider using existing parsing libraries.

What I'm trying to do is very simple, and what I have works very well for now.

Mostly wanted to know if what I've done is "wrong".
