string find C# code example

Example 1: c sharp index of substring

// To find the index of the first substring in a string use
// 'IndexOf()'
string str = "Hello World!"
str.IndexOf("o"); // Output: 4

// You can give a starting index and a length to search at
str.IndexOf("o", 6, 4); // Output: 7

// To find the last instance of a substring use 'LastIndexOf()'
str.LastIndexOf("o"); // Output: 7

Example 2: c# find where word is contained in a string

public static string getBetween(string strSource, string strStart, string strEnd)
{
    int Start, End;
    if (strSource.Contains(strStart) && strSource.Contains(strEnd))
    {
        Start = strSource.IndexOf(strStart, 0) + strStart.Length;
        End = strSource.IndexOf(strEnd, Start);
        return strSource.Substring(Start, End - Start);
    }
    else
    {
        return "";
    }
}
