  As you see, only important information for me is this chunk:

     There is no standard format for WHIOS queries. The result will be
     formatted in human readable format, but it's not intended for
     automatical processing. You can search for keywords in the result and
     try to isolate the information.

  2. You see, in this case I get always the same result, just middle part
     os different.
     And that middle part I want to extract.
     Question is how.

     Use the string's 'Substring' method or 'Strings.Mid'.
