string sentence = "X10 cats, Y20 dogs, 40 fish and 1 programmer.";
string[] digits = Regex.Split (sentence, @"\D+");
For this code I get these values in the digits array
10,20,40,1
string sentence = "X10.4 cats, Y20.5 dogs, 40 fish and 1 programmer.";
string[] digits = Regex.Split (sentence, @"\D+");
For this code I get these values in the digits array
10,4,20,5,40,1
But I would like to get like
10.4,20.5,40,1 as decimal numbers. How can I achieve this?
Credit for following goes to @code4life. All I added is a for loop for parsing the integers/decimals before returning.
public string[] ExtractNumbersFromString(string input)
{
input = input.Replace(",", string.Empty);
var numbers = Regex.Split(input, @"[^0-9\.]+").Where(c => !String.IsNullOrEmpty(c) && c != ".").ToArray();
for (int i = 0; i < numbers.Length; i++)
numbers[i] = decimal.Parse(numbers[i]).ToString();
return numbers;
}
