is there any specific command to copy text between particulat string??

[sree161]

Hi
i have  a text file which has a specific word i.e name 7 or 8 times in it along with some other text.
i have to pick text between each "name" and save it to an array.

can someone help me with the logic?

Eg:
Input:
sajfkjdsaf
name
ajhsdfkajfdajsjdflkjafa
afdhjsahlfkaf
ajfkhdsakfasf
akjfkjafd
name
asfjksajf
kdajsfpa
alkdshfahsf
nameajslkfja
aslkfajnbfajn
Output:
$s[1]: sajfkjdsaf
$s[2]: ajhsdfkajfdajsjdflkjafa
afdhjsahlfkaf
ajfkhdsakfasf
akjfkjafd
$s[3]:
asfjksajf
kdajsfpa
alkdshfahsf
nameajslkfja
aslkfajnbfajn
asfjksajf
$s[4]
kdajsfpa
alkdshfahsf
nameajslkfja
aslkfajnbfajn

 

 

can some one help me in this??

 

Thaks in advance,

Can you post an example what you expect as output based on your input?

What have you tried so far?

[mikell]

water, it's not very clear but input and output are written in the provided text - I suppose so

You might try StringSplit with "name" as delimiter and the flag $STR_ENTIRESPLIT

This example assumes the last two elements of the generated array always require the same string manipulation as displayed in Post #1 Output.
