How to Extract a String Between Two Markers in Python

Do you often find yourself needing to extract specific information from a larger body of text? If you’re working with strings in Python, it can be quite useful to know how to get a substring that is located between two markers. In this guide, we will tackle a real-world problem and provide a simple solution using Python code.

Understanding the Problem

Imagine you have the following line from a text file:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

In this line, we want to extract the string:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

However, the goal is to simplify it further and just get the name:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

To accomplish this, we need to identify how to isolate the content between the markers " and @ en.

Step-by-Step Solution

Let’s break down the solution into manageable steps. We will utilize Python's string manipulation capabilities to extract the desired portion of text.

Step 1: Setting Up Your String

First, we start by defining the string we want to work with. This string represents the content that includes the markers.
