Hey guys,
I am accessing the Facebook Graph API and I am in a spot of bother, I have just started C# so this is probably beyond my reach at the moment but here goes:
I am trying to read the "message" field only on a certain level of indentation when returning a status query via the API. For example, Facebooks sample query is the following:
Code:

I only want items on the same level of indentation as this line here:
Code:
"message": "Tune in to Facebook Live today at 10 a.m. PDT to be part of a live announcement about new technology from Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook engineers and our industry partners: http://ow.ly/4vlzf",
My problem is that I have no way of handling this without splitting the string, and that is pointless because it would only serve identical queries.
So I guess what I am asking is:
How can I go about retrieving specific fields like "name", "id" etc... on a specific level of indentation?
Thanks for any help,
Fluidz
