Hi, I want to split the following string
“His name is Jack according to the record hi id is 789542 he is a local person”
and only need “789542” as a result. How can it be possible.
@Sheraz_Ali1 - Asssuming “id is” always present in your text…
StrID = system.text.regularexpressions.regex.match(YourText,"(?<=id is\s+)\d+", regexoptions.ignorecase).value
Hope this helps…
But id is not always there only there is a paragraph containing digits sometimes there are 7 and sometimes 12 digits.
Thank you 
Hi @Sheraz_Ali1
Use this regx to extarct numeric from string.
txt = “His name is Jack according to the record hi id is 789542 he is a local person”
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(txt,“\D”,“”)
Thanks,
Manjula
@Sheraz_Ali1 - Then just do \d+
@Sheraz_Ali1 , Try arr1(3).ToString
What is the variable type you set for account_a? It should be string type.
It’s an array
Thank you 
It works after converting to string.
And if there is some other numbers like
His name is Jack according to the 224 record hi id is 789542 he is a local person 12 demax.
but i need only 789542
Are these are min 6 digits to max 12??
yes in this case but may vary for other cases
@Sheraz_Ali1 - if its min 6 to Max 12, you can try the below pattern…
we can build more solid pattern if you provide more samples…
