just modify your code to -: mac =Convert.ToInt32( netshline.Substring( netshline.IndexOf(:) + 1 ) ); hope this helps...

Hi If you are sure that it will return integer value then you can convert it public int GetChannel(string mac) { int result=0; while ((netshline = sr.ReadLine()) != null) { if(netshline.IndexOf(Channel) > 0) { result=Convert.ToInt32(netshline.Substring(netshline.IndexOf(:)) + 1; } } return result; } Regards Iftikar
