  Hi, I am looking how to search a string for the first instance of text 'img src=' Then select the text in the quotes after it. This then leaves me with the link to the image. For example... img src="http://website/str_strip/000000000/00000000/0000000/30223.print.gif" Thanks for any help...

  //Capture the image url however you like string myImageUrl = "img src=\"http://website/str_strip/000000000/00000000/0000000/30223.print.gif\""; //Create a delimiter string, convert to char[] to pass to String.Split() string delimiterString = "\""; char[] delimiter = delimiterString.ToCharArray(); //Call String.Split() and pass the delimiter string[] results = myImageUrl.Split(delimiter); Console.WriteLine(results[1]); // Writes http://website/str_strip/000000000/00000000/0000000/30223.print.gif This is one way to do it, and just the first one I thought of. You may have to change the delimiter based on how your URL looks. Hope this helps!

  Well it looks like it destroyed my formatting. Sorry, I'm not used to this forum yet. //Capture the image url however you like string myImageUrl = "img src=\"http://website/str_strip/000000000/00000000/0000000/30223.print.gif\""; //Create a delimiter string, convert to char[] to pass to String.Split() string delimiterString = "\""; char[] delimiter = delimiterString.ToCharArray(); //Call String.Split() and pass the delimiter string[] results = myImageUrl.Split(delimiter); Console.WriteLine(results[1]); // Writes http://website/str_strip/000000000/00000000/0000000/30223.print.gif
