How do I find second occurrences "-" in string and split
Example:
myFileName-12345678-Inbound-Test_ND.txt
I need to get only:myFileName-12345678
Posted

Use

string[] tokens = originalFileName.Split(new char[] {'-', '.'});


After that, re-compose the output string fragment at your liking. Prefer string.Format over string concatenation, for example:

int tokenLength = tokens.Length;
if (tokenLength > 2)
   myNewFileName = string.Format("{0}-{1}.{2}",
        tokens[0], tokens[1], tokens[tokenLength - 1]);

You can take the substring using Substring method and define the starting point based on the value returned by IndexOf('-').
