How do I extract a substring from a string until the second space is encountered?

Question

I have a string like this:

\"o1 1232.5467 1232.5467 1232.5467 1232.5467 1232.5467 1232.5467\"

How do I extract only \"o1 1232.5467\"?

Answer 1

You could try to find the indexOf "o1 " first. Then extract it. After this, Split the string using the chars "1232.5467":

        string test = "o1 1232.5467 1232.5467 1232.5467 1232.5467 1232.5467 1232.5467";
        string header = test.Substring(test.IndexOf("o1 "), "o1 ".Length);
        test = test.Substring("o1 ".Length, test.Length - "o1 ".Length);
        string[] content = test.Split(' ');
