Question

How do you convert a string with a period character to an int?

I have to convert strings like “1924.912” to int’s, but the int.Parse() and Convert.ToInt32() methods don’t work here.

Answer 1

You can use Double.Parse() and then convert result to int.

var result = (int)Double.Parse("1924.912");

Optionally you can specify decimal separator because its local specific.

If you want get 1924912 from “1924.912” you can achieve this by replacing “.” by “”:

  string s = "1924.912";
  int result = int.Parse(s.Replace(".", ""));
  result.Dump();

Will print 1924912.
