I need to get the string from a larger string<br />
<br />
In my source string will be a &quot;starter&quot; string PP= &nbsp;I need everything after that and before the very next comma<br />
<br />
So...if my source string is<br />
<br />
GR-4,DD=3,SW=N,PP=lrbriste<wbr />r,PE=1234<br />
<br />
Then I just want<br />
lrbrister<br />
<br />
also...the PP= can appear anywhere in the string

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Visual Basic.NET

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
