using (WebSocketMessage webSocket_message = Get<WebSocketMessageQueue>("webSocketMessageQueue").GetNextMessage(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60)))
   {
       ExtractionCursor cursor = new ExtractionCursor();

    // extract the value from the HTML text, defaulting to "Joe Jones" if the value cannot be found 
    // <input type="text" name="f_customer" size="32" maxlength="32" value="Joe Smith"> 
    string extractedText = webSocket_message.ExtractFromEnd(
                            cursor,
                            "\"",

    if (cursor.Succeeded)
    {
        WriteMessage(string.Format("The value {0} was found at position {1}", extractedText, cursor.Index));
    }
}

using (WebSocketMessage webSocket_message = Get<WebSocketMessageQueue>("webSocketMessageQueue").GetNextMessage(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60)))
