[RESOLVED] Some help with strings...

[.paul.]

try using regex:

Dim string_1 As String = "sometextblahblahdoodledooo<text>this is what i want</text>blahblahsomeothertext"
Dim rx As New Regex("(?<=<text>).+?(?=</text>)")
Dim string_2 As String = rx.Match(string_1).Value

don't forget to import regex:

imports system.text.regularexpressions
