title: Extracting A String Between Two Characters in Bash
body: <p>I need help with extracting a string between the &quot;@&quot; symbol and a space &quot; &quot; in Bash.</p>
  <p>I'm using Python Twitter Tools, and the output is like this:</p>
  <pre><code>430438229200740352 2014-02-03 14:30:45 CST &lt;HorizonAwon&gt; @SawBlastt @WereAutomatic 101 for me to join as well
  </code></pre>
  <p>I need to extract the two strings:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>SawBlastt</p>
  <p>WereAutomatic</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>I also need to set them each as a separate variable.  I've tried messing around with sed and grep, but no successful results.  I'm really stuck on this.  Help is very appreciated.  Thanks!</p>
