how to substring from a string using c#

Question

The following is a line of huge .txt file and i am reading it line by line. I need the value of second column. In this line, I need to extract 'C9006'.

Mr ABC|C9006|The white field, ON|493-493-4939|493-493-4939|YR|Inactive

Note : The delimiter char is pipe sign '|'. The length of second column is not consistent.

Help please.
