Ah! That makes a bit more sense. There are a large number of ways to do it, depending on the data you are dealing with. If it is fixed length - always 3 alphabetic followed by a bunch of numeris, then use the String.Substring method:

C#

string inp = "IMG0001";
string prefix = inp.Substring(0, 3);
string suffix = inp.Substring(3);

Alternatively, if the data can vary in length, then a simple Regex would do it:

C#

Regex reg = new Regex(@"(?<prefix>[A-Za-z]+)(?<suffix>\d+)");
Match m = reg.Match(inp);
if (m.Success)
    {
    prefix = m.Groups["Prefix"].Value;
    suffix = m.Groups["Suffix"].Value;
    }</suffix></prefix>
