I pretty often want to take a range out of a string that starts at a keyword and ends with another. Typically when reading a config-file or mining data out of an HTML-page.
Like this:
"foo bar gazonk"["o".."gaz"];
Result: "oo bar gaz"
"foo bar gazonk"["o".."o"];
Result: "o"
"foo bar gazonk"["gurka".."o"];
Result: ""
"foo bar gazonk"["o".."gurka"];
Result: "oo bar gazonk"
"gazonk foo bar gazonk"["o".."gaz"];
Result: "onk foo bar gaz"
(Excuse me if I've missed if this suggestion is already made.)
