Answer 1

I used the code snippet from Vijay Singh Rana which basically does the job. But it causes problems if the firstString does already contain the lastString. What I wanted was extracting a access_token from a JSON Response (no JSON Parser loaded). My firstString was \"access_token\": \" and my lastString was \". I ended up with a little modification

string Between(string str, string firstString, string lastString)
{    
    int pos1 = str.IndexOf(firstString) + firstString.Length;
    int pos2 = str.Substring(pos1).IndexOf(lastString);
    return str.Substring(pos1, pos2);
}
