    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,
