Get the substrings from a given string

Question

I have the below string and need to get only the strings Location, Andrew Jacob and VAAS HARI.

p {margin-left: 0px; color: Black  /style> /head> p>LocationA</p> font color=#888888>Organizer: /font> p>Andrew Jacob /p>  fontcolor=#888888> Attendee(s):  /font> p>VAAS HARI /p> `/head>

I tried to replace the other strings , remove or trim, but couldn't get. Please help.

Please add the code you used to replace the other strings. Also, how dynamic is this text? — Ian Newson, Dec 02 '16 at 05:30
The text will be coming in the same format always , Code i tried is pretty static, by replacing each string by "". but that didnt seem a good one. — VaasLolla, Dec 02 '16 at 05:43
Is this your actual string? If you're skipping `<` characters to keep the html sane, use the `{}` button in the toolbar and you'll get nicely formatted code that renders better. — Joel Coehoorn, Dec 02 '16 at 05:53

If the data's always on the same line number you could try something like this (you may need to try without StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries as that'll remove blank lines)

string input=@"
p {margin-left: 0px; color: Black}

LocationA

Organizer:
Andrew Jacob

Attendee(s):
VAAS HARI
";

string[] lines  = input.Split("\r\n".ToCharArray(), StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
var location = lines[1];
var organizer = lines[3];
var attendees = lines[5];

I used a similar way after trying the options. I am able to parse the same now. Thankyou for your idea – VaasLolla Feb 02 '17 at 18:41

string search = "Andrew Jacob";
int startIndex = input.IndexOf(search);
if(startIndex >= 0)
{
    string output = input.Substring(startIndex, search.Length);
}
else
{
    // search Not found in input
}

While this might possibly be the correct answer, it doesn't look convincing without commentaries and only code. Please consider adding a commentary for a better chance of being accepted. – Gokhan Kurt Dec 02 '16 at 06:12
Thankyou ,but the output is dynamic ...so it may not be Andrew Jacob Or LocationA always ... – VaasLolla Dec 03 '16 at 11:21
