The function forward-sexp requires a buffer. Is there something
similar for parsing strings? Of course, I can always use
with-temp-buffer.

(require 'cl)
(loop with s = "(sexp 1) (sexp 2) \"sexp 3\" sexp-4"
with e = 0
for oe = (read-from-string s e)
do (print (car oe))
while (< (setf e (cdr oe)) (length s)))
(sexp 1)
(sexp 2)
"sexp 3"
sexp-4
nil

is to develop with a dynamic system that has extreme late binding in
all aspects. The first system to really do this in an important way
is Lisp. -- Alan Kay

Do I need here the (require 'cl)? It seems to me that
read-from-string is really the important thing in your example. And
if this function obeys the current syntax-table (the doc string
doesn't say anything about that) it should be exactly what I am
looking for.
Thanks!

the `loop' macro is defined in cl.el, so you'll need it. Personally,
I'd just use with-temp-buffer. It's far more straightforward.

If I strictly implement the above example, I'll need cl.el. But it
seems to me that `while' can do the job, too. (Haven't tried yet
what I want to do with this.)

Use a buffer.

read-from-string is indeed an alternative, but only to parse strings whose
content uses the elisp syntax.
