Actually I have one more question that's somewhat related-- I'm starting out
by importing a .txt file that isn't divided into vectors and is at times
inconsistent with regards to spacing, indents, etc., so I can't rely on

"Drink=Coffee:Location=Office:Time=M
Thanks! That's much less complicated and does everything I wanted it to do.

Hi all,
I'm trying to write a function that will search and extract from a long
character string, but with a twist: I want to use the characters before and
the characters after what I want to extract as reference points. For
example, say I'm working with data entries that looks like this:
Drink
