local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local sb = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()
sb:append("<abc><person><name>Joe</name></person><company><name>Chilkat Software</name></company></abc>")

-- The GetAfterBetween method gets the substring between two arbitrary marker strings, and doesn't
-- start searching until the searchAfter string is passed.

-- For example, to get the company name in the string above...
local searchAfter = "<company>"
local companyName = sb:get_after_between(searchAfter, "<name>", "</name>")
print("Company Name = " .. companyName)
