You can do it with buffers. In fact, it is not at all unusual to
create a buffer just to process one line. And if, instead of killing
the buffer and making a new one for the next string, you just keep the
buffer around and use it again for the next string, it's really fast.
For a buffer, you have lots of quite powerful functions, such as
THING-at-point (number-at-point, word-at-point, ...).
