Hi Eric,
Ok, I don't know what is values of that string will always exist (will that
'For:' always be there?!?), so here is a very generic Regex that will grab
those 2 values:
Regex r= new Regex(
@"^[^,]+,\s+(?<numbers>\d+)(?<afterNumbers>[^,]+),.*$",
RegexOptions.IgnoreCase
| RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace
| RegexOptions.Compiled
);
you can use it like
string line = "For: Name-Location-40940, 1249V_S, 4120 City";
Match m = r.Match( line );
int numbers = int.Parse( m.Groups[ "numbers" ].Value );
string afterNumbers = m.Groups[ "afterNumber" ].Value;
Cheers!
Dave

Subject: RE: [AspNetAnyQuestionIsOk] Regular Expression -- retrieving a number
OK,
What i have so far is:
(For:)(.*[\w]+\b,) -that pulls the line up to:
For: Name-Location-40940, 1249V_S, (the second comma)
I have been trying through code and through the regex to get this split and
cannot.
Some help would be appreciated.
Thank-you,
Eric

tokenize it. If you get stuck send me your exp so far and I will take a stab
at it. I won't be able to do this until tomorrow afternoon though. HTH

Subject: [AspNetAnyQuestionIsOk] Regular Expression -- retrieving a
number
Working with regular expressions, I can get the following line from a
text document:
For: Name-Location-40940, 1249V_S, 4120 City
What I need to grab out of there is:
1249V_S
And then disect that into:
1249
and
V_S
How can I do those things using regular expressions?
Thank-you,
E
