 * This reader allows to parse a new objective function in the style of CPLEX .lp files.
 *
 * The lp format is defined within the CPLEX documentation.
 *
 * An example of a *.diff file looks like this:
 *
 *  Minimize
 *    obj: - STM6 + STM7
 *
 * Here is the objective sense set to minimize the function -STM6 + STM7.
