[REBOL] Re: Fast way to remove all non-numerical chars from a string
From: petr::krenzelok::seznam::cz at: 22-Sep-2007 14:17
Hi,
well, as with REBOL, another, totally different aproach, the short one :-)
start: now/time/precise
loop 1'000'000 [remove-each val "1234a5b6v77" [any [val < #"0" val >
#"9"]]]
now/time/precise - start
== 0:00:06.255
But - parse is usually the fastest method, otoh remove-each is native,
it could compare rather well. Parse is more flexible for more
complicated set-ups though ...
Cheers,
