Search in a string after a specific parameter

[LVdummies]

How can a search in a string  like this ( if i have probe, I get this answer)

Parameters:
Loop 0:
Color=1,wind=1,water=3,car=SA1,bus=10,house=5

I like to take out the value from "car".

Note that the order may be changed or some parameters vill be added.

Thanks for answers.

Hi

Here's a little VI that will help. Just tweak it to your requirements.

To find the value for 'car' enter 'car=' as the 'Start string' and ',' as the End String.

Hello,

Perfect !

Thanks a lot.

You're welcome

That's rather complicated for a simple search.  This?

Sweet as a nut Jim.

( albeit requiring a bit of PCRE know-how )

NeilR makes a good point.  I neglected to mention that I used the Match Regular Expression node which, for new users, isn't going to be the first choice.  It's worth learning how to use basic regular expressions for everyday use; advanced regular expressions are magic.
