I have a field which may have alphanumeric values like this:





I need to get the numeric part to do some calculations and then assembly the alpha + numeric part again. Is there any cool .Net function that would help me on this process instead of me looping the value backwards to get only the numeric part of 1253 in the above example?

Thanks Greg,



I will investigate RegEx even though in my case I don't have a constant delimiter like in sample 3 and I need to get just the numeric part to do the calculations and generate new numbers to be added to the alpha part. If I would have a delimiter I could use the String.Split() but I guess I will need to do a function to scan each character and test for IsNumeric() or Char.IsDigit() from right to left until an alpha is found then split the whole value.



It would be really cool if a RegEx expression could get it right.
