Splitting not spitting

joshrduncan2012 4-Jun-13 9:32am

Help you with what? What have you tried to do to accomplish this task? You haven't shown us any attempt on your part first.

hadi_753 4-Jun-13 10:28am

i searched .. bu it's little complicated .. maybe we can solve this problem using regex ...

anyway .. thanks for passing by :)

You could use the split method, or a regular expression (aka Regex).

hadi_753 4-Jun-13 10:29am

can you provide me with example...

thanks :)

Read the documentation on the String.Split() method, it's really not difficult.

Have you tried with SubString(Int32, Int32)?

hadi_753 4-Jun-13 10:29am

yea...but length is not fixed ... either prefix order

Prasad Khandekar 4-Jun-13 10:35am

How about using following regular expression (I am assuming your string are going to contain numbers only)

\(\d*\)\d*\(\d*\)\d*

Regards,

hadi_753 4-Jun-13 10:39am

my string contains letters and numbers as well,
using this code.. how we will get the item_code and unit ?
I'm still newbie in regex :)

Prasad Khandekar 4-Jun-13 10:43am

Try with \(\w*\)\w*\(\w*\)\w*

hadi_753 4-Jun-13 10:49am

can you give a little sample for using regex :)

Prasad Khandekar 4-Jun-13 10:55am

Hello,

Here is a good documentation on this topic at MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.regularexpressions.regex.aspx).

Solution 2

Try something like this:

String data = "(0)1002(10)1";
String[] values = data.Split("(10)");

Check the length of the array to make sure the values are present.
index 0: remove '(0)' from the beginning
index 1: unit

Good luck!

we cannot split on (10) because we may add other prefix later on :)
any way ... thanks for trying to help me ....
best regards,

E.F. Nijboer 4-Jun-13 10:17am

Then simply split on ")" instead and go with the 4 resulting values instead. index 0 can be ignored and index 2 will be your prefix after removing the "(".

hadi_753 4-Jun-13 10:30am

can you provide me with sample code ..

sorry to be annoying .

best regards,

hadi_753 4-Jun-13 10:32am

even prefix order is not fixed...

E.F. Nijboer 4-Jun-13 11:24am

Just try to split using ")" and put a breakpoint after that to check out the contents of the array. You can figure it out easily from there.

C#

string str = string.Empty;
       str = "(0)1002(10)1";
       string str1 = string.Empty;
       string str2 = string.Empty;
       int l = str.Length;
       int f1 = 0;
       int f2 = 0;
       for (int i = 0; i < l;i++ )
       {

           if (str[i].ToString() == "(")
           {
               f1 = f1 + 1;
           }
           else if (str[i].ToString() == ")")
           {
               f2 = f2 + 1;
           }
           if(i>2 && f1==1)
           {
               str1 = str1 + str[i].ToString();
           }
           if(str[i].ToString() != ")" && f2==2)
           {
               str2 = str2 + str[i].ToString();
           }

       }

Solution 1

string str = "(0)1002(10)1;

string item_code = str.Substring(str.IndexOf("(0)"), str.IndexOf("(10)")).Replace("(0)", "");
string unit = str.Substring(str.IndexOf("(10)")).Replace("(10)", "");
