Yet another, but this time a small WhoIS problem.

As a result from who is I am getting this:

NOTICE: The expiration date displayed in this record is the date the

registrar's sponsorship of the domain name registration in the registry is
currently set to expire. This date does not necessarily reflect the

expiration date of the domain name registrant's agreement with the
sponsoring registrar. Users may consult the sponsoring registrar's
Whois database to view the registrar's reported date of expiration
for this registration.

TERMS OF USE: You are not authorized to access or query our Whois
database through the use of electronic processes that are

high-volume and automated except as reasonably necessary to register
domain names or modify existing registrations; the Data in VeriSign
Global Registry

Services' ("VeriSign") Whois database is provided by VeriSign for
information purposes only, and to assist persons in obtaining information
about or related to a domain name registration record. VeriSign does not

The Registry database contains ONLY .COM, .NET, .EDU domains and
Registrars.

The previous information has been obtained either directly from the
registrant or a registrar of the domain name other than Network Solutions.
Network Solutions, therefore, does not guarantee its accuracy or completeness.

As you see, only important information for me is this chunk:

How to I cut off the top and bottom part? I tried to play with this

There is no standard format for WHIOS queries. The result will be
formatted in human readable format, but it's not intended for
automatical processing. You can search for keywords in the result and
try to isolate the information.

You see, in this case I get always the same result, just middle part
os different.
And that middle part I want to extract.
Question is how.

Use the string's 'Substring' method or 'Strings.Mid'.
