Question

I have a string of type “24;#usernamehere,#AWRFR\user,#,#,#usernamehere”

I want to split this string on the first appearance on # and , i.e i want a string to be fetched which is inbetween these two characters.

So for the above string i want the OUTPUT as:

usernamehere

How can i split a string in between two characters using Regex function?

A simple Regex Pattern might do the job:

var pattern = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("#(?<name>.+?),");

test:

string s = @"24;#usernamehere,#AWRFR\user,#,#,#usernamehere";
pattern.Match(s).Groups["name"].Value;   //usernamehere
