Answer 1

RegEx to match everything between two strings using the Java approach.

List results = new ArrayList<>(); //For storing results
String example = "Code will save the world";

Let's use Pattern and Matcher objects to use RegEx (.?)*.

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("Code "(.*?)" world");   //java.util.regex.Pattern;
Matcher m = p.matcher(example);                      //java.util.regex.Matcher;

Since Matcher might contain more than one match, we need to loop over the results and store it.

while(m.find()){   //Loop through all matches
   results.add(m.group()); //Get value and store in collection.
}

This example will contain only "will save the" word, but in the bigger text it will probably find more matches.
