Need help with substring

[George21]

Hello! I have a problem! Look at this html code:

<a href="javascript:reportaUser( '33452186' , 'bella33' );">Reporta Contenido Ofensivo</a>

i need to put only this numbers 33452186 in the textbox.Let's say i have 2 textboxes, textbox1 which contains

<a href="javascript:reportaUser( '33452186' , 'bella33' );">Reporta Contenido Ofensivo</a>

and textbox2 where i need to put the number 33452186. How can i do it? Because i've used indexof and lastondexof:

            int i = textBox1.Text.IndexOf("'") + 1;
            int j = textBox1.Text.LastIndexOf("'");
            textBox2.Text=textBox1.Text.Substring(i,j-i); 

But it doesn't work. can anyone help me

Check the snippet I posted in this thread. It grabs all the numbers and puts them into an array. If your name is always the first one then you can grab the first element of that array.

ok but in my case it should be like this?

            string s = "reportaUser( '33452186'";
foreach(string strItem in Regex.Split(s,"\\D")){
    textBox1.Text = strItem;
 

?

The result of that code will be the LAST number in your entry string (you called it s) will be displayed.
This works for your sample string, but might cause problems later on???

Yep, also that Split returns empty spaces so there is need to discard them somehow ...

string s = "reportaUser( '33452186'";
        string[] numbersandspaces = Regex.Split(s,"\\D");
 
        [foreach (string str in numbersandspaces) {
            if(str != "") {    
                //
                               Console.WriteLine(str);
            }
        }

Thanx

Try it out, instead of using a hardcoded string, use the value of the textbox?
