Reading digits from String

Reading digits from String

  So you want it effectively split by "-" Hell... that's even easier!

  string[] parts = input.Split('-');

  After that line of code, you've got an array with 3 elements (assuming the format of the input is the same as described above) and the parts[0] contains the first three digits, parts[1] the middle and parts[2] the verification number.

  Guys thanks for replying

  I got the first part of the program done thank to all The next trick is to place each numer to an array for example

  0011594088

  to an array it will has be to asign this way

  array[0] =0

  array[1] =0

  array [2]=1

  array[ 3]=1

  array[4]=5 ect until it reaches the last number which is 8.

  Can this be done

  string[] parts = cardNo.Split('-');

  string numPart = parts[0] + parts[1];

  string verification = parts[2];

  Rather than try to read in the string and ignore the "-" chars... you might consider reading in the entire string and processing around them like so:

  string input = "999-999999-9";

  //locate last dash

  int pos = input.LastIndexOf("-");

  //Create string of containing everything up but not including final dash

  //And remove extra dash(es)

  string numString = input.Substring(0, pos).Replace("-", "");

  //Create string of everything after final dash

  string checkString = input.Substring(pos + 1);

  //Convert both to integers:

  int num = int.Parse(numString);

  int check = int.Parse(checkString);

  Is this what you are looking for

  Brendan Grant,

  Thanks a million for replying..!!!

  The code does exactly what i want but i see it ignores the zeros when i enter it in the following format

  001-1589488-0

  so the output should be more like:

  First three = 001

  middledigits=1589488

  verification number = 0

  Can this be done

  Thanks

  string[] parts = cardNo.Split('-');

  string numPart = parts[0] + parts[1];

  string verification = parts[2];

  string fullNum = numPart + verification

  array[0] = fullNum[0].ToString();

  array[1] = fullNum[1].ToString();

  ...

  array[ n ] = fullNum[ n ].ToString();

  you just have to cast the fullNum[index] to the array's data type.  you can also use a loop to populate your array[] variable...

  for (int i=0; i<array.Length; i++)

  {

       array[ i ] = fullNum[ i ].ToString();

  }
