Question

Find the pattern “[Number1, Number2]” in any given string and get the integer (32bit) values for Number1 and Number2:

Example Input: “Foo Bar [45,66] Bash”

Example Result:
Number1 = 45
Number2 = 66

I have this example in my deitel book and I can’t seem to get the Regex Exp. syntax correct. Can anyone help me out?

Answer 1

This should work for your exact case of [number,number]:

var match = Regex.Match(input, @"\[(\d+),(\d+)\]");

var first = match.Groups[1].Value;
var second = match.Groups[2].Value;

var result = string.Format("Number1={0} Number2={1}", first, second);
