Here's a slightly extended test including Pekr's stripping the
unwanted characters in place. The results show for this test:
1. Trim/with is almost 10 times faster than parse.
2. Parse is roughly 10 percent faster than parse/all.
3. Skip is slower than using the complement technique.
Here are the results for 500 speedchecks:
Average for 10000 trim/with was
0:00:00.007487802
Average for 10000 parse creating new string was
0:00:00.064615664
Average for 10000 parse/all in-situ with skip was
0:00:00.064453348
Average for 10000 parse/all in-situ with complement was
0:00:00.064148258
Average for 10000 parse in-situ with skip was
0:00:00.05863122
Average for 10000 parse in-situ with complement was
0:00:00.049951718
The test script follows.
