Find and extract a number from a string

Question

I have a requirement to find and extract a number contained within a string.

For example, from these strings:

string test = \"1 test\"
string test1 =         


        

Answer 1

Regex.Split can extract numbers from strings. You get all the numbers that are found in a string.

string input = "There are 4 numbers in this string: 40, 30, and 10.";
// Split on one or more non-digit characters.
string[] numbers = Regex.Split(input, @"\D+");
foreach (string value in numbers)
{
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
    {
    int i = int.Parse(value);
    Console.WriteLine("Number: {0}", i);
    }
}

Output:

Number: 4 Number: 40 Number: 30 Number: 10
