Or without using Regex (as an alternative to the other answer), and only if the structure is fixed. 

string startIgnorePart = "Conditions for ";
string findBefore = ",";
string original = "Conditions for Mersing, MY at 11:00 am MYT";
string extracted = original.Substring(startIgnorePart.Length, original.IndexOf(findBefore) - startIgnorePart.Length);
Console.WriteLine(extracted);

Regex should be able to help you out. I haven't tested this, but something like this should work.

Regex regex = new Regex("Conditions for (.*),");
var v = regex.Match("Conditions for Kangar, MY at 11:00 am MYT");
