I have a string stored in a variable say myString= http://www.codeguru.com/icom_includes/feeds/codeguru/rss-all.xml CodeGuru.com something http://lifehacker.com/index.xml Lifehacker something I want to extract the text between and and also the text between and in two different arrays. How to do this please help me. if anyone have code or any helpfull link please reply back. Thanks

this is one way to do it: ArrayList links = new ArrayList(); int e = 0; int linkStartPos = 0; int linkEndPos = 0; int s = 0; while ((linkStartPos >= 0) & (linkEndPos >= 0)) { linkStartPos = myString.IndexOf( s StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase); if (linkStartPos >= 0) linkStartPos = linkStartPos + 6; linkEndPos = myString.IndexOf( e StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase); if ((linkStartPos >= 0) & (linkEndPos >= 0)) links.Add(myString.Substring(linkStartPos linkEndPos - linkStartPos)); s = linkStartPos; e = linkEndPos + 7; } the title part is pretty much the same.

I'm a noob to C# but maybe this peace of code kan give you an idea : string tagToBeSplit = this is the string to be written ; Response.Write(tagToBeSplit.Split(new string[2]{ } StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)[0]);
