Just this once the question was answerable (and answered, elsethread) without the SSCCE, but truthfully the respondents had to infer the context that an SSCCE would've made explicit.  They just happened to guess right.  (Well, it was fairly obvious.)

But to the OP and the rest of us, it really is a good idea to package your example as an SSCCE.  Just because we think something is obvious doesn't mean everyone does.

Coincidentally I was just facing the same problem in a project.  I want to independently dip into an input stream without trashing the stream location by buffering.  In my case I did away with the buffering, but for the OP's case here it is much easier to preserve the stream at wider scope than they originally had it.
