I have been given a list of strings that are actually numeric identifiers; these can autoincremented but I am trying to determine what the actually numbers are, as they contain alphanumeric characters. Can anyone advise on how to do this?
eg. x774b4n, x7741zs, x774ahm, x774cb0
Thanks.

Hi,
Base36 and above are the only numeral notations that contain the ascii letter Z.

Hmmmm,
Apparently that's a joke that only us older guys would understand. I made that same joke on reddit a few years ago and was downvoted into oblivion.

parse tables are especially lovely.
How often do you get to declare nasty things like this?
IDictionary<int, IDictionary<int, KeyValuePair<int, int>>>
or
Tuple<TAccept, Tuple<KeyValuePair<char, char>[], int>[]>[]
I have a headache in my eye.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

It's containers, all the way down!!

The issue is dependencies. These are opaque structures used to hold parse tables and FA state tables. They're static initialized and not mutable, and basically opaque to the end developer.
I thought about creating types to better encapsulate this data in a more friendly manner, but that just means extra type declarations in the end developer's code for something they will never use directly.
So meh. It's whatever. But creating them is a PITA

That makes sense. It's always an issue of trade-offs with this kind of stuff.

If the "extra" types make the code more readable, they go from being "extra" to "recommended".

since the code is never touched by humans, and only generated by tools, it doesn't need to be readable. it doesn't even step through in the debugger (DebuggerHidden)
adding, putting in a bunch of extra code they have to include and understand into their projects makes adoption *more* not less difficult

Don't use a tuple like that!
(TAccept meaningfulNameInsteadOfItem1, (KeyValuePair<char, char>[] keys, int something)[])[] So much more readable... Ok, I guess just don't do this
In such scenario's I usually create a class, which may inherit from Dictionary<...>, for readability.
Or I do something like:
var lookup = originalCollection.ToLookup(i => i.Key, v => v.ToLookup(...)); So that I never have to specify the type
