The StringScanner object provides high performance string manipulation functions. The StringScanner functions operate at the location of the current offset in the text buffer. The initial position is 1. All functions (except those with optional negative numeric arguments) work from the current offset position towards the end of the buffer.

The StringScanner.ScanXXX() functions position the offset immediately after any found text. The StringScanner.SkipXXX() functions position the offset at the beginning of any found text.
