i have a String in HTML (1-3 of 3 Trip) how do i get the number 3(before trip) and convert it to int.I want to use it as a count
Found this code
public static string GetNumberFromStr(string str)
{
str = str.Trim();
Match m = Regex.Match(str, @"^[\+\-]?\d*\.?[Ee]?[\+\-]?\d*$");
return (m.Value);
}
But it can only get 1 number
Regex is unnecessary overhead in your case. try this:
int ExtractNumber(string input)
{
int number = Convert.ToInt32(input.Split(' ')[2]);
return number;
}
Other useful methods for Googlers:
// throws exception if it fails
int i = int.Parse(someString);
// returns false if it fails, returns true and changes `i` if it succeeds
bool b = int.TryParse(someString, out i);
// this one is able to convert any numeric Unicode character to a double. Returns -1 if it fails
double two = char.GetNumericValue('٢')
Forget Regex. This code splits the string using a space as a delimiter and gets the number in the index 2 position.
string trip = "1-3 of 3 trip";
string[] array = trip.Split(' ');
int theNumberYouWant = int.Parse(array[2]);
Try this:
public static int GetNumberFromStr(string str)
{
str = str.Trim();
Match m = Regex.Match(str, @"^.*of\s(?<TripCount>\d+)");
return m.Groups["TripCount"].Length > 0 ? int.Parse(m.Groups["TripCount"].Value) : 0;
}
Another way to do it:
public static int[] GetNumbersFromString(string str)
{
List<int> result = new List<int>();
string[] numbers = Regex.Split(input, @"\D+");
int i;
foreach (string value in numbers)
{
if (int.TryParse(value, out i))
{
result.Add(i);
}
}
return result.ToArray();
}
Example of how to use:
const string input = "There are 4 numbers in this string: 40, 30, and 10.";
int[] numbers = MyHelperClass.GetNumbersFromString();
for(i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine("Number {0}: {1}", i + 1, number[i]);
}
Output:
Number: 4
Number: 40
Number: 30
Number: 10
If I'm reading your question properly, you'll get a string that is a single digit number followed by ' Trip' and you want to get the numeric value out?
public static int GetTripNumber(string tripEntry)
{
return int.Parse(tripEntry.ToCharArray()[0]);
}
Not really sure if you mean that you always have "(x-y of y Trip)" as a part of the string you parse...if you look at the pattern it only catches the "x-y" part thought with the acceptance of .Ee+- as seperators. If you want to catch the "y Trip" part you will have to look at another regex instead.
You could do a simple, if you change the return type to int instead of string:
Match m = Regex.Match(str, @"(?<maxTrips>\d+)\sTrip");
return m.Groups["maxTrips"].Lenght > 0 ? Convert.ToInt32(m.Groups["maxTrips"].Value) : 0;
