Hi,
I'm trying to retrieve a substring from a string, but I'm not sure exactly where
and how big that substring is. The substring is delimited by a start and end special
character. It was suggested to me to write two regular expression, one that would
match everything up to and including the start special character, and one to match
everything following and including the end special character, and replacing the
matches with nothing.
I thought finding the location of the start and end special characters, then
calling substr().
And so I have to questions:
1 - How would I find the index for a particular character in a string?
2 - What's the best method, everything considered (simplicity, performance, etc).
Thanks for your time.
Nat
