I assumed that if I give you a bolt and a nut (hope the dictinary
gave me the right translation) you know what to do with it. I thought
you just cant find the matching nut.
Let's assume you have the whole text you want to search in variable
$string :
$keyword1 = '. I';
$keyword2 = 'then';
$index1 = index $string, $keyword1;
$index2 = index $string, $keyword2, $index1 + length($keyword1);
$result = substr $string, $index1 + length($keyword1), $index2 -
$index1 - length($keyword1);
print $result;
Reading the file into a variable is left to the reader as an easy
homework.

There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain
I can't find it.
