If they are also in tags like <b></b> you may be able to open it as xml in a dataset or xmlnode. If not then you can use this:

Public Function Between(ByVal text As String, ByVal start As String, ByVal finish As String) As String
        Dim sindex As Integer = (text.IndexOf(start) + start.Length)
        Dim findex As Integer = text.IndexOf(finish)
        Try
            Return text.Substring(sindex, findex - sindex)
        Catch ex As Exception
            Return String.Empty
        End Try
    End Function
 
        'use it like this in a form or where ever
        Dim str As String = "blah blah blah <title>You found me</title> more text here"
        MsgBox(Between(str, "<title>", "</title>"))

It could use some better exception handling though.
