Something like parsing a string that could have command codes in it of varying length. So I guess the difference is, is this a 1-, 2-, or 3-character code?
I have something like this in a barcode generator and I keep trying to find a way to make it more elegant, but I keep coming back to index and offset as the simplest and most understandable approach.
Not that I’m aware of but that’s a condition where you’re thinking with an index. What’s the difference you’re looking for?

So you could generate lists of 1, 2, and 3 character code items rather than looking at index +1 or something.
