Split and get total count from string

Question

I have a string CHF,2$DVC,1$PP,4 and i want result as this

List

     CHF
     DVC
     PP

Sum: 7

i can do it by spliting with '$', then apply foreach loop then again split with ',' and apply foreach loop.

On google i found that if i had string like string myString = "1,2,4,8,16"; the i can get the sum with .Sum(x => int.Parse(x)) but don't know how to implement in my case

Can anybody tell me how can i get desired result using linq without loop as i am new in linq

Can you explain how you come to a sum of 7? I am counting 8 characters but thats only a guess — Marco

you should write this down in your question. For me it was not clear you want the numbers, because your List contained 3 sets of letters. — Marco

you can try something like this

var t = "CHF,2$DVC,1$PP,4".Split('$').Select(s=>s.Split(','))
var list = t.Select(i=>i[0]).ToList();
var sum = t.Sum(i=>int.Parse(i[1]));
