Parse value from string with structure "key=value"

I have a string like this:

SUBJECT=Some text here\r\n
VALUE=19355711\r\n
RCV_VALUE=2851404175\r\n
RESULT=1\r\n
CNCODE=0\r\n
KEY1=1\r\n
KEY2=2

Now I need to get the values of RCV_VALUE and RESULT from this string. The position of these keys in the string may vary. They can also be at the beginning or/and at the end of the string.

Value of RESULT I must get as int, and value of RCV_VALUE I must get as string.

What is the best way to get the values of these keys regardless of their position in the string?

You can achieve this using an regular expression easily enough, as per the example below. 

Regex expr = new Regex(@"^(?<Key>.*)=(?<Value>.*)$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.Singleline);

var m = expr.Match("SUBJECT=Some text here\r\n");
var key = m.Groups["Key"].Value;
var value = m.Groups["Value"].Value;
// or 
var kvp = new KeyValuePair<string, string>(m.Groups["Key"].Value, m.Groups["Value"].Value);

Or alternatively if you do not want to use a regular expression you can split the string using the = as a delimiter and then parse the values in pairs.

Try

var RCV_VALUE = Regex.Match(myString, "RCV_VALUE=(\d+)").Groups[1].Value

Best bet is a regular expression

var regex=new Regex(@"RCV_VALUE=(?<value>\d+)");
var match=regex.Match(inputString);
var rcv_value=int.Parse(match.Groups["value"].Value);

Use string spilt to split it into multiple lines, and then loop over the array. After this i would use indexof and either substring or string remove to get the parts i want.

This all being said, this questions smells of "do my work for me". I would recommend going to www.codeproject.com and learn the basics.
