This python snippet gets a substring between two strings in a string. For example, get_str_between(html_code,'/*','*/') would return the first boxed javascript snippet that it could find.

There's also get_every_str_between() which returns an array of every substring that is found between those two patterns in the given text.

def get_every_str_between(s, before, after):
  """ returns an array of substrings between "before" and "after"
      by: Cody Kochmann """
  return (i.split(after)[0] for i in s.split(before)[1:] if after in i)

    This is an improved function to the currently used setInterval in javascript.
    It has better Controls towards the control flow of the interval overall. 
    This implementation also prevents function overlapping where is the interval 
      is set too quickly and tries to run again before the previous

I find this regex snippet useful when I'm throwing together a video link search algorithm or a video downloader for an app. This does nicely when looking for a link that works nicely with the chromecast.
