Manipulate / Strip String

[G]

Hello,

Does anyone have any code handy which will take a certain part of a string
and save it as an independant string?

For example:

"Thank you for visiting our web site. You were sent here by Michael Smith
from Aberdeen who thought you would find this page interesting."

If I wanted to save the part "Michael Smith from Aberdeen" , how would I go
about loosing the bits on the left and right? I think in classic ASP it was
the String replace function.

Any help appreciated.

Regards,

Gary.

Try SomeString.Replace() or SomeString.Substring(), depending on what
exactly you want to do (e.g. can you guarantee the substring you want will
start at some specific index from the start of the string and end at some
specific index from the end of the string).

It's all on MSDN. Try:

String.Substring is almost certainly what you want here - but you'll
need to be able to work out exactly which bit of the string you're
interested in.

In the String class you have a lot of methods to manipulate strings.

This example will put together a string, then extract the referrer by
stripping off the first and last strings:

string referrer = "Michael Smith from Aberdeen";
string message1 = "Thank you for visiting our web site. You were sent
here by ";
string message2 = " who thought you would find this page interesting.";
string message = message1 + referrer + message2;

string extract = message.Substring(message1.Length, message.Length -
message1.Length - message2.Length);

Regular expressions are another approach, especially if there are subtle
patterns in your strings that would trip up good old string.Replace()
