Find text in string with C#

Use this method:

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

    return "";
}

How to use it:

string source = "This is an example string and my data is here";
string data = getBetween(source, "my", "is");

This is the simplest way:

if(str.Contains("hello"))

You could use Regex:

var regex = new Regex(".*my (.*) is.*");
if (regex.IsMatch("This is an example string and my data is here"))
{
    var myCapturedText = regex.Match("This is an example string and my data is here").Groups[1].Value;
    Console.WriteLine("This is my captured text: {0}", myCapturedText);
}
