Hello,
I have a question about a command I want to use. First I have an input .txt value with many lines. From all the line of the input file I would like to separate the lines that between lines
*** SUMMARY OF DATA ***
and
*** END OF SUMMARY ***
I am attaching the input file
I am using these commands:
yy=(regexp(fileread('input.txt'), '\r?\n', 'split')) .';
mid = extractBetween(string(yy),"*** SUMMARY OF DATA ***","*** END OF SUMMARY ***")
but command window shows me
345×0 empty string array
and does not give me the lines between these phrases I would like.
Could you please help me?

startStr and endStr must be in the same row (i.e. in a contiguous sequence of characters).
%%
chr = fileread('input.txt');
mid = extractBetween( chr,"*** SUMMARY OF DATA ***","*** END OF SUMMARY ***");
str = strsplit( mid{1}, '\r\n' );
str(1) = []; % empty row because of leading \r\n
str(end) = []; % empty row because of ending \r\n
reshape( str, [],1 )
