I have multiple strings that looks:

this is ab-skdn string
ab-sdhnif my string

For each string, I need to pull the part that is ab-** For example I need ab-skdn and ab-sdhnif

How could I do that using C#

My code would look like something:

var myString = "this is ab-skdn string"
match = "ab-skdn"

Use a regex to find the matches. A simple regex that does what you need is:

ab-[a-z]*

Since you didn't provide any code I can't provide an example for how to use a regex in your context, but there are plenty of examples out there. A quick google search on how to use Regex in C# should get you started. The link I provided also has some good examples.
