Tester – Standard Input Streams

The run function of the Tester class either read input from the console (standard input) or from the specified test file.  A QTextStream was used to read the input and was either opened to the standard input device or the test file.  The standard input stream does not work the same way in that an input stream is not opened with a device.  Fortunately the sections of code for reading from the console or a file was separate, so input can be read directly from standard input (std::cin) or from an input file stream (std::fstream).

Since reading from standard input or input file stream returns a standard string, the rest of the code in the tester class (the various functions for processing input) was modified to use standard strings.  However, where these functions interfaced to the various classes not yet converted to use standard strings, the string is converted to a C-style string that is acceptable for a QString argument (via implicit conversion).  This is temporary until those classes are modified.
