StreamReader* sr = File::OpenText(path);
try {
String *s = "";

int place = 0; // looks for the ID FIELD
String *ID_val = "IAO_"; // ID is the leader if the id
String *ID;
String *temp;
while (s = sr->ReadLine()){
place = s->IndexOf(ID_val);
if ( place == 1)
{
Console::WriteLine(s->Substring(1,8)); //this works
temp = s->Substring(1,8); // this is my problem
}}
// i just want to save the substring as a string.

So what is the problem?

Also, you realize that IndexOf returns the zero based index, so unless
you expect the place to be at the second character, you might want to
compare it against zero.

Hope this helps.
