Reading Digits from String ... HELP!!!

Question

Hi guys I'm kind of new at this and I seem to have very small experience on the C# language... I hope someone can help me out. I need to built a console application that will read a card number with the following format ( 999-999999-9). The program needs to identify the la number which the verification digit . With the digit it determine if the card number is valid or not. I started out using a long variable but it wont accept the - so i decided to use a string which it can take the entire statement as the software requires. How i can read the digits ignoring the - and storing the last number on a seperate variable? Thanks

You could do something like this (assuming you have the string in a variable called 'code'): string[] digits = code.Split('-'); int first = int.Parse(digits[0]); int second = int.Parse(digits[1]); int third = int.Parse(digits[2]);
