Parsing in a String for a specific value

Question

I am getting a return string from web service that I am calling. Now I want to look for specific value which should be present in that return string. Return string is something like this:

pg_response_type=A
pg_response_code=A01
pg_response_description=APPROVED
endofdata

Now I want to check in this string that if pg_response_code=A01 is present or not. I know I have to for loop in the string. What should be the code...? Suppose I am storing this string in string Response;

Whats wrong with the Contains method? e.g if (response.Contains("pg_response_code=A01")... — Duncan Howe

Simply use String.Contains:

bool contains = response.Contains("pg_response_code=A01")

Without writing a parser or looping you can still check for specific values like this:

string response; //response in here.

if(response.contains("pg_response_code=A01"))
{
 //do something
}
