Question

How can I get a string that is between two other declared strings, for example:

String 1 = "[STRING1]"
String 2 = "[STRING2]"

Source:

"832h0ufhu0sdf4[STRING1]I need this text here[STRING2]afyh0fhdfosdfndsf"

How can I get the "I need this text here"?

Answer 1

Since this is homework, only clues:

• Find index1 of occurrence of String1
• Find index2 of occurrence of String2
• Substring from index1+lengthOf(String1) (inclusive) to index2 (exclusive) is what you need
  • Copy this to a result buffer if necessary (don’t forget to null-terminate)
