String manipulation(NEWBIE!)

[StepIre]

Hey Guys,

Sorry if this is silly question but i am new to all of this!

Basically i have a file that has some content in it that i want to get out.

i want to find say an occurence of the string "blah".

then i want to find the next occurence of the string "blah2" after that.

and then i want to use the information between the 2 strings i have found??

Does anybody have any information i could use on something like this?

Thanks!!

I think your best bet would be to read() the file's contents into a string variable and then search through that using the find() method, which returns an index.

From that point it's a simple matter of using slicing [x : y] on the string.

Hope that helps...
