How to get numeric value from a string

[SEhtesham]

Hi,
I have a StatusStrip and is filled with Year in the format say "June2009 - May2010".
I want to get the years from this string like 2009,2010 from the above string.
Please suggest how can i do this.
I have tried this but not able to further separate June2009.
Please have a look

 Dim strYearDet As String()
 strYear11, strYear2 As String
 strYearDet = StatusStrip1.Items(0).Text.Split("-")
 strYear11 = strYearDet(0)
 strYear2 = strYearDet(1)
 

Can anyone help of how to get 2009 and 2010 from the string

Use the Regex Class to retrieve the numbers from the string.

For example:

Dim theString As String = "June2009 - May2010"
Dim numRegEx As New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("[0-9]{4}")
Dim matches As System.Text.RegularExpressions.MatchCollection = numRegEx.Matches(theString)
Dim num1 As Integer
Dim num2 As Integer
If matches.Count = 2 Then
  Integer.TryParse(matches(0).Value, num1)
  Integer.TryParse(matches(1).Value, num2)
End If
