Answer 1

Here is a sample code i made. This will get the substring you need provided that your key splitters are sequentially located from left to right of your original string.

var oStr ="List_1 fooo asdf List_2 bar fdsa XList_3 fooo bar";
        List l_lstValues = new List { "List_1", "List_2", "XList_3" };

        List splitted = new List();
        for(int i = 0; i < l_lstValues.Count; i++)
        {
            var nextIndex = i + 1 >= l_lstValues.Count  ? l_lstValues.Count - 1 : i + 1;
            var length = (nextIndex == i ? oStr.Length : oStr.IndexOf(l_lstValues[nextIndex])) - oStr.IndexOf(l_lstValues[i]);
            var sub = oStr.Substring(oStr.IndexOf(l_lstValues[i]), length);
            splitted.Add(sub);
        }
