Removing Text from Beginning and From Middle of a String

[.paul.]

use regex:

Dim testStr As String = "Start: 29/09/2008 End: 29/09/2008"
Dim rx As New Regex("(?<=Start: )\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4}")
Dim StartRange As String = rx.Match(testStr).Value
rx = New Regex("(?<=End: )\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4}")
Dim EndRange As String = rx.Match(testStr).Value
MsgBox(StartRange & vbCrLf & EndRange)

don't forget to import regex:

Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
