Any custom function to extract parameters from strings?

Question

I once came across a function in VB6 that received 3 parameters "Parameter","Match" and "Delimiter" that could extract information from a given string as follows:
SiteAddress=XXXX;UID=XXXX;PWD=XXXX

In which SiteAddress, for example, is a parameter, ";" is the delimiter and "=" is the match. I wonder if anyone can help me have one written in C#.

Something like this perhaps: using System; class Program { static void Main() { string s = SiteAddress=XXXX;UID=YYYY;PWD=ZZZZ; string value; value = ExtractValue(s SiteAddress '=' ';'); Console.WriteLine({0} = {1} SiteAddress value); value = ExtractValue(s UID '=' ';'); Console.WriteLine({0} = {1} UID value); value = ExtractValue(s PWD '=' ';'); Console.WriteLine({0} = {1} PWD value); Console.ReadKey(); } static string ExtractValue(string s string parameter char match char delimiter) { string[] items = s.Split(delimiter); parameter = parameter.ToLower(); foreach(string item in items) { string[] split = item.Split(match); if (split[0].ToLower() == parameter) return split[1].Trim(); } return ; } }
