title: Is there a faster way to parse hashtags than using Regular Expressions?
body: <p>I am curious, is there a faster/better way to parse hashtags in a string, other than using Regular Expressions (mainly in Ruby)?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong><br>
  For example I want to parse the string <code>This is a #hashtag, and this is #another one!</code> and get the words <code>#hashtag</code> and <code>#another</code>. I am using <code>#\S+</code> for my regex.</p>
