Question

I am struggling to find a solution in string manipulation – I am trying to extract a certain part of the string element after the ‘=’ character – say for ex.

 dim s as string = "/mysite/secondary.aspx?id=1005" 

I am trying to get the string after the “=” and just to grab the 1005. I tried indexof and split, but i am not sure where i am going wrong. Any help, please?

Here is what i did:

 Dim lnk As String = "/mysite/secondary.aspx?id=1005"  
 Dim id As Long = lnk.IndexOf("=")   
 Dim part As String = lnk.Substring(id + 1, 4)

Thanks

Try the following

Dim index = s.IndexOf("="C)
Dim value = s.Substring(index + 1)  

This will put “1005” into value
