Need to get a string after a "word" in a string in c#

Question

string toBeSearched = "code : ";
string code = myString.Substring(myString.IndexOf(toBeSearched) + toBeSearched.Length);

Something like this?

Perhaps you should handle the case of missing code :...

string toBeSearched = "code : ";
int ix = myString.IndexOf(toBeSearched);

if (ix != -1) 
{
    string code = myString.Substring(ix + toBeSearched.Length);
    // do something here
}

var code = myString.Split(new [] {"code"}, StringSplitOptions.None)[1];
// code = " : -1"

You can tweak the string to split by - if you use "code : ", the second member of the returned array ([1]) will contain "-1", using your example.

Simpler way (if your only keyword is "code" ) may be:

string ErrorCode = yourString.Split(new string[]{"code"}, StringSplitOptions.None).Last();

add this code to your project

  public static class Extension {
        public static string TextAfter(this string value ,string search) {
            return  value.Substring(value.IndexOf(search) + search.Length);
        }
  }

then use

"code : string text ".TextAfter(":")

use indexOf() function

string s = "Error description, code : -1";
int index = s.indexOf("code");
if(index != -1)
{
  //DO YOUR LOGIC
  string errorCode = s.Substring(index+4);
}

string founded = FindStringTakeX("UID:   994zxfa6q", "UID:", 9);


string FindStringTakeX(string strValue,string findKey,int take,bool ignoreWhiteSpace = true)
    {
        int index = strValue.IndexOf(findKey) + findKey.Length;

        if (index >= 0)
        {
            if (ignoreWhiteSpace)
            {
                while (strValue[index].ToString() == " ")
                {
                    index++;
                }
            }

            if(strValue.Length >= index + take)
            {
                string result = strValue.Substring(index, take);

                return result;
            }


        }

        return string.Empty;
    }
