One character at a time in a high level language like Python, please. See http://nedbatchelder.com/text/python-parsers.html for a list of parsers that can do all sorts for you. Or the stdlib re module https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html. Or a likely replacement for the re module https://pypi.python.org/pypi/regex.
