Question

How to cut with a regular expression (or С# functions) TEXT MESSAGE in one variable and the second variable USERNAME from this text?

{"messages": [{"text": "TEXT MESSAGE", "channel": "main": "from": "USERNAME", "fromid": 651765, "t": 1379970985409, "tc": "f16d7e "}}}

That's JSON... why on earth would you use a regex to parse that? — Chris Eberle, Sep 23 '13 at 22:35
Chris is right. You should be using [JSON.NET](http://json.codeplex.com/) to parse the JSON, not RegEx. Once you parse the JSON with JSON.NET, a new instance of a class will be created where you can simply use `text` and `from` as properties to retrieve the values. — Icemanind, Sep 23 '13 at 22:43
