Today I was on a call with other developers discussing how to fix a problem. A potential solution was proposed that would require us to remember about it and do things a certain way in the future so naturally I asked, "What happens when we make the change and six months from now forget about it?".

This is one of my favorite helper functions I end up adding to many projects I work on (or some variation of this). It makes extracting bits of text from a larger bit of text simple.
