How to extract text between two markers?

I am trying to create a blogging site kind of like medium.com. The only problem I am facing is the headings in the blog. I want to do what stack overflow does with bold text.

**text**

But I can't seem to figure out how to make this. Sorry if this question is not detailed enough and Thanks for giving this question your time.

Solution

  • you can find string between two subStrings using python regular expression.

    import re
s = '**text**'
result = re.search('\*\*(.*)\*\*', s)
print(result.group(1)) #output :==> text

    you really should learn regular expression 😀.
