now i have a richtextbox1 that has alot of text

what i want to achieve is search for as example "First" and "Second" in the textbox then get the strings located between them

i tried to use this but its hell slow

while((a9 = richtextbox1.Text) != null)
{
if ( line.Contains("word") )
{
string theline = line;
}

counter++;
}

What Vloxxity said was good. If you have a RichTextBox you can do it like that:
Code:
string teststring = RichTextBox1.Text; //Should be clear 
string newString = teststring.Substring(teststring.IndexOf("First"), teststring.IndexOf("Second"));
// Or a 1-line Code:
string newString = RichTextBox1.Text.Substring(RichTextBox1.Text.IndexOf("First"), RichTextBox1.Text.IndexOf("Second"));
Credits to Vloxxity :D
Is that what you are searching for? The methode Vloxxity posted was enough to archieve that. And I don't think you are a C&P-Kiddie, who can't apply general methods to specific problems (then you should stop programmming immediately).

Code:
string between(string str1, string str2, string str3) 
{
 int start = str1.IndexOf(str2);
 int end = str1.IndexOf(str3, start);
 return str1.Substring(start + str2.Length, end - start - str2.Length);
}

and your code does not work at all cuz the rich box i have has more that 400 line full of text so how i do that

bump

the richbox I have has more than 500 lines I want to search for the unique text "FIRST" and the other unique text "Second" and get the text between then

EX. a line container this "First time I code in C# and it is my Second time"

of meaningless sentence cuz I don't have example now but I want to get that text "time I code in C# and it is my"

NOTE: The rich box has more than 500 lines I want the fastest way to get the results desired

u can use regex to find data between 2 strings
07/13/2012 16:10 kissein#10
u can build your own custom method

First define your SplitDefinition

Code:
public class SplitDefinition
{
    public SplitDefinition(char delimiter, string[] splits)
    {
        this.delimiter = delimiter;
        this.splits = splits;
    }

    public char delimiter { get; set; }
    public string[] splits { get; set; }
}
then use List to store your results

Code:
public List<SplitDefinition> CustomSplit(string source, char[] delimiters)
{
    List<SplitDefinition> splitDefinitionList = new List<SplitDefinition>();

    foreach(char d in delimiters)
    {
        SplitDefinition sd = new SplitDefinition(d, source.Split(d));           
        splitDefinitionList.Add(sd);
    }

    return splitDefinitionList;
}
and init it
Code:
void Main()
{
    string text = "First time I code in C# and it is my Second time";
    List<SplitDefinition> splitDefinitionList = CustomSplit(text, new char[] { 'First', 'Second' });
}
