Extract strings from in between other strings using a single command.

If the start or end input is a single character, the script looks for the first and last instances,
respectively, and returns the string that is in between the two instances.
If the start or end input is greater than a single character, regex is used to find the first and
last instances, repectively, and returns the string that is in between the two instances.
