Then use a regex: https://3v4l.org/SGWL5
Or a combination of strpos and substr.
I'd bet that both of these solutions would use less memory, and I would guess the PCRE one
should also be better for performance (although not benchmarked) as it is highly specialized in that
task.
There are *plenty* of solutions to the specific problem you pose here, and thus many different
solutions more or less appropriate.
