Find text in string with C#

Question

How can I find given text within a string? After that, I'd like to create a new string between that and something else. For instance, if the string was:

This is an example string and my data is here 

And I want to create a string with whatever is between "my " and " is" how could I do that? This is pretty pseudo, but hopefully it makes sense.

Use this method:

public static string getBetween(string strSource, string strStart, string strEnd) {     if (strSource.Contains(strStart) && strSource.Contains(strEnd))     {         int Start, End;         Start = strSource.IndexOf(strStart, 0) + strStart.Length;         End = strSource.IndexOf(strEnd, Start);         return strSource.Substring(Start, End - Start);     }      return ""; } 

How to use it:

string source = "This is an example string and my data is here"; string data = getBetween(source, "my", "is");
