getting substring from a string

[Manas Bhardwaj]

String fixString = "Whateever"; string[] fixArray = fixString.Split(Convert.ToChar(1)); //I used 1 because FIX message uses this as delimiter... HashTable fixTable = new HashTable(); string[] fieldArray = null; for (int fieldCount = 1; fieldCount < message.Length; fieldCount++) { fieldArray = fixArray[fieldCount].Split('='); fixTable.Add(fieldArray[0].ToString(), fieldArray[1].ToString()); } string firstTagString = fixTable["100"].ToString() This will give you string which is there in tag 100, no matter at what position it is at. I am telling you this because FIX is a tag based protocol and not a position based. The position may vary from message to message. It is a more generalized solution for your scenario. Success

you do message.Length you mean fixString.Length here Am i right even than its crashing for my message

My Mistake :omg: It should be fixArray Here's your code String fixString = "Whateever"; string[] fixArray = fixString.Split(Convert.ToChar(1)); //I used 1 because FIX message uses this as delimiter... HashTable fixTable = new HashTable(); string[] fieldArray = null; for (int fieldCount = 1; fieldCount < fixArray.Length; fieldCount++) { fieldArray = fixArray[fieldCount].Split('='); fixTable.Add(fieldArray[0].ToString(), fieldArray[1].ToString()); } string firstTagString = fixTable["100"].ToString()

[Ankit Aneja]

its still giving index was outside the bounds of array

Can you post your code here? Also provide the string which you using

[Ankit Aneja]

try { String fixString = newLine; string[] fixArray = fixString.Split(Convert.ToChar(1)); //I used 1 because FIX message uses this as delimiter... Hashtable fixTable = new Hashtable(); string[] fieldArray = null; for (int fieldCount = 1; fieldCount < fixArray.Length; fieldCount++) { fieldArray = fixArray[fieldCount].Split('='); fixTable.Add(fieldArray[0].ToString(), fieldArray[1].ToString()); } string firstTagString = fixTable["100"].ToString(); } catch(Exception ex) { String x=ex.ToString(); } "M|2696|0|D|I|20070604-19:31:25.177|255|8=FIX.4.2

Here it is: try { string newLine = "M|2696|0|D|I|20070604-19:31:25.177|255|8=FIX.4.2

[Ankit Aneja]

after this line string firstTagString = fixTable["100"].ToString(); it jumps out and go to lines after catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); }

Dude, I ran it with the same code... If it is running for exception than it means ur message did not contain message with tag 100... nyway, for which company do you work?

[Ankit Aneja]
