/**
 * Utility class for string parsing that is higher performance than
 * StringParser for simple delimited text cases.  Parsing is performed
 * by setting the string, and then using the <code>findXxxx() and
 * <code>skipXxxx() families of methods to remember significant
 * offsets.  To retrieve the parsed substrings, call the <code>extract()
 * method with the appropriate saved offset values.
