I assume that an empty string is a valid input then.
The question is, what value do you want `index` to have when
the string is empty?
Maybe the old value, or some constant?
In any case, to better express your intent, you may write
something like:
if (user_apply[4] != "")
{
index = to !(int) (user_apply[4]);
}
else
{
index = ...; // specify whatever your intent is
}
This way, the code is self-documenting, and the program still
throws when `user_apply[4]` is neither empty nor an integer,
which may be the right thing to do in the long run.

Thanks, but I know about what are you saying. The user_apply[4]
has so many possibilities and I cannot use if-else
