title: Extract a string between 2 characters of the same character
body: <p>I understand how to extract a string between 2 DIFFERENT types of strings like [ and ], or ( ), etc...</p>
  
  <p>But what I don't know is how to get multiple/all strings between 1 character.
  Eg:</p>
  
  <pre><code>the *big* brown fox *jumps over* the *lazy* **dog**
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it should return for "*":</p>
  
  <pre><code>big
  jumps over
  lazy
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and it should also return for "**":</p>
  
  <pre><code>dog
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>All libraries, regex patterns and such don't support such a feature.</p>
