I have a string as 'MR000000001'. Also the string value can vary from 'MR000000001' to 'MR999999999'.
I want to extract the numeric value form that string.

I tried TryParse method but it does not work.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Solution 2

Try :

C#

string s = "MR00001012";
int val = int.Parse(s.Substring(2)); // first digit starts at position 2

Try regular expression with [0-9]+. There are tons of information present, you just need to google!
