Here you go.. You can get the SMS in the String Array as per below:
#############################################
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
Cursor c= getContentResolver().query(uri, null, "body like
'%hello%'",
null,null);
startManagingCursor(c);
if(c.getCount() !=0)
{
String[] str = new String[c.getCount()];
int i = 0;
if(c.moveToFirst())
{
do
{
str[i] = (c.getString
(songCursor.getColumnIndex("body"))).toString();
i++;
}while(c.moveToNext());
}
}
#############
Once u have the String array str, you can use the substring function
as described by Al to do what u need to do!!
