Regex: Match between multi-character repeated delimiter

I am trying to learn regex. Currently I am stuck in this problem where I need to match between +++ as the delimiter

For e.g.

in="Hi how are you? +++I am good.+++"

The output must be:
I am good.

How do I write the regex pattern (in Python)?

>Solution :

As a first approach, we can try using re.findall with the pattern \+{3}.*?\+{3}:

inp = "Hi how are you? +++I am good.+++"
matches = re.findall(r'\+{3}(.*?)\+{3}', inp)
print(matches)  # ['I am good.']
