Uhm, "string" and "non-string" are just that, words within the string. Here shall I dumb it down for you?
string = "yes text1 yes text2 yes text3 no text4 yes text5+more Text yes text6 no text7 yes text8" It doesn't matter what is in the string, I want to be able to know exactly how many "yes"'s there are. I also want to know what is after each, regardless of length. So, I want to be able to get "text1", but not "text4" because it is after "no" and I want all of "text5+more Text" because it is after "yes". It is like the yeses are bullet points and I want all the info after them. However, all in one string.
