Except for  Prashant s answer  the above answers have been answered incorrectly  Where is the  replace  feature of the answer  The OP asked   After that  I d like to create a new string between that and something else    Based on  Oscar s excellent response  I have expanded his function to be a  Search And Replace  function in one   I think  Prashant s answer should have been the accepted answer by the OP  as it does a replace    Anyway  I ve called my variant - ReplaceBetween     public static string ReplaceBetween string strSource  string strStart  string strEnd  string strReplace        int Start  End      if  strSource Contains strStart   amp  amp  strSource Contains strEnd                 Start   strSource IndexOf strStart  0    strStart Length          End   strSource IndexOf strEnd  Start           string strToReplace   strSource Substring Start  End - Start           string newString   strSource Concat Start strReplace End - Start           return newString            else               return string Empty
