breaking a string to substrings

[myinstincts]

i am having a string ,say"14p"....I want to take only the value 14 so that i could convert that to integer..how can i achieve this?

[myinstincts]

n i want to split that string on occurence of any alphabets

hi, I did this using regular expressions. I wrote a method to split a string by alphabetic characters. 14p gives array of one item 14 14eur gives an array of one item 14 14eur14pp15p gives an array of 3 items 14, 14, and 15 http://pastebin.com/f55499ed[^]

Assume that your input string like: Input: a1f2g3r46mj5kde6 Output:123456 I think at first you split it in to an array and pass each array item to a function for numeric validation. That.s It...:)

Thanks Md. Marufuzzaman

how about this -

public String[] Split(String alpha)
{
String str = alpha;
List<String> returnVal = new List<String>();

        Regex regexp = new Regex("\[0-9\]+");
        MatchCollection matchColection = regexp.Matches(str);
        for (int i = 0; i < matchColection.Count; i++)
        {
            returnVal.Add(matchColection\[i\].Value);
        }

        return returnVal.ToArray();

    }
