Initial Description

This code will take a start and end string and then search for them within the subject string. It returns what is between the start and end strings. As an example, if I had the following text...

Some test text string, with a start <tag> and an end </tag>.

...I could call this function to get the text between the <tag> and the </tag> strings. This function will return: "and an end"
