Hi: Well I am not a CSharp programmer but the general technique would be to either use a command to pick off a particular number like 2 or 5 or something or to look in a certain position for a number or letter. I think the vb substring command might be the one you yould use and there should be something in CSharp for finding and extracting substrings in CSharp. That is the key word here, substring since the number is considered a substring of the original number. If the number is nnumeric then you first convert it using one of the convert options like CSTR or another method to converet it to a string, then you can use the string handling commands to find the individual number.
