inbtw

inbtw (a.k.a. "in between"), is a small utility to extract the text in between two tags.

inbtw extracts the text between tags.

	A tag is defined by "// [START " and "// [END "

	Example for a file containing:

		// [START mytag]
		var Bla = "bla"
		// [END mytag]

	executing:

		> inbtw -tag mytag -f myfile.go

	will yield:

		var Bla = "bla"
	
Usage of inbtw:
  -f string
    	file(s) to parse, multiple files can be separated by ',', '-' for stdin.
  -tag string
    	tag containing the text to extract.

Purpose

To extract code snippets in order to render them in a document. It requires less maintenance than something like sed because it needs line numbers, and less complicated than regex or awk.
