C# Extracting String From ListView

I have an issue where my ListView (when showing as a string variable) keeps showing the items as ListViewItem {//item}. I wondered if there was anyway of extracting the string from between the {}?

The method I have at the moment works but is by no means how I want to be doing this.

string item = listView1.Items[i].ToString().Replace("ListViewItem: ", "").Replace("{", "").Replace("}", "");

i is from a for loop, just an incrementing number.

Thanks

Ideal candidate for regex. If you match the string with the simple regex below, whatever in the group "val" value will be the text you want.

ListViewItem: \{(?<val>.*)\}

I think you should be able to use the Text property:

listview1.Items[i].Text;

I'm not sure if this is what you want but you can use -

string item = listView1.Items[i].Text

To get the text value of the item.
