Ok -- been trying to make a Deck of cards class that I can use in several small applications that I am trying to write (for experience and to highlight my ability to code -- because I WANT a job in C# but CANT because I dont have any experience, but cant GET experience because I dont have a JOB which is what I am trying to get in the first PLACE!!!! - breath - ....sorry, went a little off the rez. there for a sec).Anyway - I have decided to use the naming convention for the cards as such : 2_Spades.gif, 3_Spades.gif, etc. etc. With the forethought that someday I could get those intial values and use them for comparison purposes when I decide to make some sort of game.So how do I parse out that first character and cast it into an integer so that I can determine which card is higher?
