Can you give an example of the string and the substring you want to search for. Doesn't String.Substring() fit your need ?Gishu– Gishu2009-06-23 15:08:11 +00:00Commented Jun 23, 2009 at 15:08

Can you give a sample string? It is better to use regex for text parsing.Billy– Billy2009-06-23 15:08:27 +00:00Commented Jun 23, 2009 at 15:08

I wouldn't use LINQ, I would use String.Substring, String.IndexOf, or a regular expression.
Can you post an example of the string you would like to search and an example of a substring you would like to find within that string?

static void Main(string[] args)
{
var found = "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego".Split(' ').Where(part => part.StartsWith("i"));
foreach (var part in found)
Console.WriteLine(part);
}

Making a leap here, but if you want to find a word within a long string and pick it out based on some criteria using LINQ, you could do something like this...
private static string longString = "This is a really long string";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var query = from word in longString.Split(' ')
where word.StartsWith("r")
select word;
}
I'm saying nothing about whether LINQ is an appropriate technology here.
