My Answer:
- How to extract text between two characters in a string using PHP?
- Extract text between two strings in PHP

Here is a possible solution using PHP:

php

$string = "This is a sample string with some text between two counts of the character '|'. |This is the text I want to extract|";



$delimiter = '|';

$matches = [];



preg_match("/$delimiter(.*?)$delimiter/", $string, $matches);



if(count($matches) > 1) {

    $extractedText = $matches[1];

    echo $extractedText;

} else {

    echo "Text not found between delimiters";

}

In this code snippet, we use a regular expression with `preg_match` to extract the text between two counts of the character '|'. The extracted text is stored in the `$extractedText` variable and then printed out. If no text is found between the delimiters, a message is displayed.
