For example i have line

text1 text2 [something] text3 text4 [else] text5

How can i read "text1 text2"

In the above, you seem to be asking how to get the first two words.

Yet in the topic:
"How to read text in front of exact character"

So:
Can you give a better example? Is "[something]" relevant, or not?
