How can I parse a portion of string ?

I have a string format like following !

C#

string data = @usertext(Enter Your Code, date, test, bla, bla,bla,......) ;
//OR
string data = @usertext(Give Your data, date, test, bla, bla,bla,......) ;

Even it can be like

C#

string data = @usertext(Enter Your Code) ;
//OR
string data = @usertext(Give Your data)

That means the portion of bracket can be separated using comma or even there can have only one portion like second sample.

At first the code will check "is there @usertext" in the string. If @usertext is found there then it will parse the string & will take the first portion of bracket "Enter Your Code" or "Give Your data" from first or second sample of string. then I will get value using this portion. Then I will replace whole string by using this value.

Please keep in mind that there can have many thing before or after @usertext portion Like

C#

string data = @variable(composite, @usertext(Give Your data,data,test));
//OR
string data = Menu, @usertext(Give Your data), Table;

My work is only with the portion of "@usertext(Give Your data)" OR @usertext(Give Your data,data,test). I need to pick the first portion of first bracket then I will get value using this portion and whole "@usertext(Give Your data,data,test)" will be replaced by this vaue.

Completely unclear. What is @usertext?

Please provide a sample input/ inputs and output/ outputs so that we can understand what exactly problem is?

input is a string & we need to check this string is there @usertext or not. if there is @usertext then you will find a format with @usertext and we need to parse "Enter your Code".

input: string data= @usertext(Enter Your Code, date, test, bla, bla,bla,......);

output: Enter Your Code

I think its better you provide a sample input and expected output. to get proper solution

Sample input: @usertext(Enter Your Code, date, test, bla, bla,bla,......);
output:Enter Your Code

Always want to get the first portion inside the bracket.

Have you written any code yet ? If you have not, then start studying the C# Operators for Type String 'IndexOf and 'Split. Be happy to assist you if you start making an effort.

1. use IndexOf to locate the position of where you should begin breaking the source string.

2. use Split to break the line into parts.
