I used a get text and I have a string that contains 20+ lines.
Lets say I wants to get line 5 from this string.

What kind of sequence would I have?

It can either be split by “.” or By new line .

@dvn If the Splitting of String doesn’t work by the regular method, you can use this :
strArray = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Split(str,“\n”).Take(5).ToArray

Lets say the input came out as 6 lines like this:
Alice : 1234
Jason : 2413
Mark : 2257
Cassy :1111
Brad : 1090
Greg : 7575

I only want the 4th line in this case so my output would be:
Cassy :1111

@dvn If you just want the 4th line, then try this :
str = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Split(str,“\n”)(3)

Main Specifications-

  1. I don’t know where is Cassy appearing. No line position known so can’t pass index (3)
  2. I have to first search Cassy … that it is appearing or not then if it appearing
    then I only want 1111 of Cassy in a variable…
