Word function in C#

Is there a function already in existance that will do something like this:

word(string,char,int)

word("This is my life."," ",3)
would return "my"

My real reason for asking, is I am going to have something like this:
acdefg~hijklmnop~qrstuvwxyz

and I need to return
hijklmnop

Thanks

Take a look at instance Split(params char[]) or static Regex.Split(string,
string);
these return string[], so taking the index you want is simple.

string s = "acdefg~hijklmnop~qrstuvwxyz";

string[] sa = s.Split('~');

string r = sa[1]; // "hijklmnop"
