I'm trying to develop a method that will match all strings between two strings:
I've tried this but it returns only the first match:
string ExtractString(string s, string start,string end)
{
// You should check for errors in real-world code, omitted for brevity
int startIndex = s.IndexOf(start) + start.Length;
int endIndex = s.IndexOf(end, startIndex);
return s.Substring(startIndex, endIndex - startIndex);
}
Let's suppose we have this string
String Text = "A1FIRSTSTRINGA2A1SECONDSTRINGA2akslakhflkshdflhksdfA1THIRDSTRINGA2"
I would like a c# function doing the following :
public List<string> ExtractFromString(String Text,String Start, String End)
{
List<string> Matched = new List<string>();
.
.
.
return Matched;
}
// Example of use
ExtractFromString("A1FIRSTSTRINGA2A1SECONDSTRINGA2akslakhflkshdflhksdfA1THIRDSTRINGA2","A1","A2")
// Will return :
// FIRSTSTRING
// SECONDSTRING
// THIRDSTRING
Thank you for your help !
private static List<string> ExtractFromBody(string body, string start, string end)
{
List<string> matched = new List<string>();
int indexStart = 0;
int indexEnd = 0;
bool exit = false;
while (!exit)
{
indexStart = body.IndexOf(start);
if (indexStart != -1)
{
indexEnd = indexStart + body.Substring(indexStart).IndexOf(end);
matched.Add(body.Substring(indexStart + start.Length, indexEnd - indexStart - start.Length));
body = body.Substring(indexEnd + end.Length);
}
else
{
exit = true;
}
}
return matched;
}
