[Gambas-user] What's faster: RegExp or String function

[Phạm Quang Dương]

Hi all,

I want to remove all substring marked with '<>'. I have 2 functions:

Dim rEx As New Regexp
rEx.Compile("<.*>")
rEx.Exec(s)
While rEx.Offset >= 0
    s = Replace(s, rEx.Text, "")
    rEx.Exec(s)
Wend

And

i=Instr(s,"<")
while i > 0
    j=InStr(s,">",  i)
    cut out from s the substring from i to j
    i=Instr(s,"<")
wend

Which one should I choose?
Thank you :)
