Question

i have string col= "AB21" which is an excel cell location.

I would like to parse it as string column = "AB" & int row = 21;

How can i do that?

Answer 1

string col = "AB21";
int startIndex = col.IndexOfAny("0123456789".ToCharArray());
string column = col.Substring(0, startIndex);
int row = Int32.Parse(col.Substring(startIndex));

Of course, you should guarantee that input string will be in correct format.
