Regex should be your friend. Edit:
string filename = "123\_456.txt" ; System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex reg = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex ( @"^(?'ID0'\\d+)\_(?'ID1'\\d+)\\.(?'Ext'.+)$" ) ; int id = System.Int32.Parse ( reg.Matches ( filename ) \[ 0 \].Groups \[ "ID1" \].Value ) ;You'd think so, wouldn't you? Surprisingly, that turns out not to be the case... Counting Lines in a String[^]
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

So I was building an application that presents a list of files matched with info in a database. Everything was working fine and dandy but horrendously slow. I quickly found the culprit to be in this function:
Func GetIDPart_Of_FileName = FileName => Convert.ToInt32(FileName.Substring(FileName.IndexOf('_') + 1, FileName.IndexOf('.') - FileName.IndexOf('_')));
The files are built in the form of ID_AnotherID.Extension and what I wanted was AnotherID Can anyone see what I did wrong? :) Do note that it was giving correct results. fixed typo

Your length is off by one. The decimal point is included. I prefer int.TryParse over Convert.
And we have a winner. Amazing that the decimal point is making the conversion more than 3000 times slower. But since it didn't throw an exception but rather make a correct conversion I actually doubt that TryParse would have made a difference.

If I don't expect the conversion to fail I want an exception. When failure is expected I use TryParse. There is a reason both exists.

Yes, in this case Parse is more appropriate. (I just updated my earlier response with an example.)

What version of .NET? I've just tried
Convert.ToInt32("42.")in LINQPad for 3.5 and 4.5, and both versions throw aFormatException.

That slows it down? I spotted that right away, about 15 mins after he posted, but figured it'd be irrelevant, so didn't post. So a trailing decimal has that much of an effect... Good to know.

3000 times slower? I noticed the extra character about 15 mins after you started this thread, but didn't think it relevant. I'll have to keep an eye out for that... Almost as bad as the exponent operator in VB.NET... (Try benchmarking 2^2 vs Math.Pow(2,2))

Weird. If I try
Convert.ToInt32("42.")in .NET 4.5, I get:FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.Are you sure you're not doing something else in your code that's hiding the error?

Good point. However,
Convert.ToInt32("42,")still produces aFormatException. Trying "42." with the "sv-SE" culture, which uses "," as the decimal separator and "." as the group separator, also produces aFormatException.

hmm FileName.IndexOf('_') is calculated twice too

Well, a little late to the party, but this is why I have a whole bunch of string extensions, like this "Between" and "ToInt32":
FileName.Between('_', '.').ToInt32()And then you would never have included the '.' by accident. ;) MarcImperative to Functional Programming Succinctly Higher Order Programming

Send me a direct email and I'll send you the .cs file of my extensions. There's this[^] too. Marc
