Q: search string in a string

[JIM.H.]

Hello,
How would you search XYZ_ in a string and if exist, return next three
characters after string (so, if XYZ_001, return 001), otherwise return null
in C#.
Thanks,
Jim.

Where is this C# people? This works.

// search str1 in str2
private string SearchString(st ring str1,string str2)
{
string returnStr = "FAILED";

int pos = str2.IndexOf(st r1);
if (pos >= 0)
{
returnStr = str2.Substring( pos + str1.Length, 3);
}
return returnStr;
}
