find two words in a string and copy everything in between them

Question

I would like to be able to get the string in between to words of my choice. For example :

x = "Hello My Name is John Doe"

I would like the program to return a string holding the values in between Hello and Doe - "My Name is John "

Thanks in Advance!

Read about `str.find()` and think how you can use it together with slicing. — DeepSpace, Jun 05 '16 at 11:33

import re
x = re.search("Hello (.*)Doe",
      "Hello My Name is John Doe")
if x:
    print x.groups()[0]
