Get Specific Text in Text

Question

text1/text2/text3

In this text, I am trying to get text3 only. Is there anyway that I can do this in VB.Net?

By the way, "text1/text2/" is fixed. So they are not changing.

use substring since you know the index position of the character.The code below is usefull for you if the "text1 and text2" varies dynamically

    Dim line as string="text1/text2/text3"
    Dim _split = line.Split("/")(2)
    MessageBox.Show(_split)

It would probably be best to verify that there are at least three elements in the array returned by the `Split` method before attempting to use the third element – Blackwood Aug 13 '15 at 13:43

I fixed the problem with removing first 22 character.

Example

X = text1/text2/text3
Y = X.text.Remove(0, 12)
Result = text3

Use String.Substring(Int32, Int32) method. String.Substring(12, totalLength - 12) will return the "text3" in your case. Here totalLength is the total length of the text "text1/text2/text3".

you can use SubString like

string sub = "text1/text2/text3".Substring(12, 5);

VB

Dim subString As String = "text1/text2/text3".Substring(12, 5)

or you can refer to this Find text in string with C#

the OP specified VB. `sub` is a reserved word in VB. Also, the result of your code would be the first 12 characters, not what the OP asked for. – Sam Axe Aug 13 '15 at 09:52
