Substring and ()

Hello,

I have a string which looks as follows: "asdksdjfssdf@dotnet.itags.org.sdfsdfsdfsdfsdf.com (John Smith)"

How to create a substring with only the part which is between (), i.e., the name?

Thanks,

Miguel

you could either use thestring.indexof to find the locations of the parenthesis and then extract the substring..

or you could look at using regex:http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/022603-1.aspx

Consider

PublicFunction GetPersonsName(ByVal ItemTextAsString)AsString

' Sample data - expects constant format as provided, and without

' sure its not really possible anyway.

' "asdksdjfssdf@.sdfsdfsdfsdfsdf.com (John Smith)"

Dim SplitChars()AsChar = {"(",")"}

Return ItemText.Split(SplitChars)(1)' Returns John Smith

EndFunction

rgds,

Martin.
