"Between" function about stringy

[danielstjules]

Might be a good addition, but I wouldn't want people thinking they could parse HTML with that function (as shown in those examples):

S('<a href="#foo" class="example">bar</a>').between('<a>', '</a>').s
// => " href="#foo" class="example">bar"

Could you post an example use-case?

[darkoromanov]

Well, sure. I wouldn't do that, I need it to avoid the regex complexity when I need to find the text (if any) between "(" and ")" inside a strings like "Lorem (maybe) ipsum".

[danielstjules]

S('Lorem (maybe) (hmm) ipsum').between('(', ')').s
// => "maybe"
'Lorem (maybe) (hmm) ipsum'.match(/\(([^\)]*)\)/);
// => ["(maybe)", "maybe"]

Alright, I see your point there. :)

I already did something like this in my fork @danielstjules if you want to take a look at it (or perhaps you can come up with a better implementation since mine is a bit hackish)

https://github.com/TheDevNetwork/PhpTypes#substrbetween (changed the method name since this one was better 👍 )

@darkoromanov @vpassapera If either of you'd like to submit a PR, I'll merge this functionality. :) Otherwise I'll probably add it this weekend.

Done in 342ef7c in the 2.0.0 branch :) Thanks!
