Re: String Operation in C#

Rhonda,

Do you know that the number always comes first, and has a space after
it? If so, I would get the index of the first space, and the first
underscore, and then get the substring using those two indexes, like this:

// Assuming str has your string, you could do:
// The index of the space.
int spaceIndex = str.IndexOf(' ');
int ulIndex = str.IndexOf('_');

// Get the substring based on the indexes.
subStr = str.Substring(str.IndexOf(' ') + 1, ulIndex - spaceIndex - 1);

This assumes there is always a single space before the beginning of the
section you want to get, and an underscore immediately following it.

Hope this helps.
