在C＃中是否有等同于JavaScript的parseInt？

Question

I was wondering if anyone had put together something or had seen something equivalent to the JavaScript parseInt for C#.

Specifically, i'm looking to take a string like:

123abc4567890

and return only the first valid integer

123

I have a static method I've used that will return only the numbers:

public static int ParseInteger( object oItem )
    {
        string sItem = oItem.ToString();

        sItem = Regex.Replace( sItem, @"([^\d])*", "" );

        int iItem = 0;

        Int32.TryParse( sItem, out iItem );

        return iItem;
    }

The above would take:

ParseInteger( "123abc4567890" );

and give me back

1234567890

I'm not sure if it's possible to do with a regular expression, or if there is a better method to grab just the first integer from the string.

Answer 1

You are close.

You probably just want:

foreach (Match match in Regex.Matches(input, @"^\d+"))
{
  return int.Parse(match.Value);
}

Answer 2

Here's a complete example. It will throw an exception if you don't give it a valid string - you can change this behaviour by not explicitly throwing an exception in ParseInteger , and using int.TryParse instead.

Note that it allows a leading - sign as well, but not a leading +. (Again, easy to change.)

Also note that although I've got three test cases for success situations, I haven't got any test cases for failure.

Finally, it won't match "abc123def". If you want it to, remove the ^ from the regex.

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

class Test
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Check("1234abc", 1234);
        Check("-12", -12);
        Check("123abc456", 123);
    }

    static void Check(string text, int expected)
    {
        int actual = ParseInteger(text);
        if (actual != expected)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Expected {0}; got {1}", expected, actual);
        }
    }

    private static readonly Regex LeadingInteger = new Regex(@"^(-?\d+)");

    static int ParseInteger(string item)
    {
        Match match = LeadingInteger.Match(item);
        if (!match.Success)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("Not an integer");
        }
        return int.Parse(match.Value);
    }
}

Answer 3

A slight change to Jon Skeet's excellent solution is in order.

I would change the regex to (as mentioned by Jon):

@"^([^\\d]+)?(+|-)?\\d+"

This allows for the case of leading characters ahead of the first occurrence of a digit
(eg, asb12354 -> 12354 ) and both signed integer cases (eg + or - )

Answer 4

    public static int ParseInteger( object oItem )
    {
            int iItem = 0;
            if (oItem != null) {
                    Int32.TryParse( Regex.Match( oItem.ToString(), @"\d+" ).Value, out iItem );
            }
            return iItem;
    }

Answer 5

int nr = Int32.Parse(yourstring);

Answer 6

You could use this RegEx ("\\A\\d+") to find numbers at the beginning of a string.

You can then use int.Parse() to convert that string into an actual integer.

Answer 7

You DON'T have to write your own int parse function!!!!

I know this thread is pretty old. but there are some simple way to do this:

int.Parse(urString);
use short.Parse(urString); //if you want a short

Or: //use those depend on your situation:

Convert.ToInt16();
Convert.ToInt32();
Convert.ToInt64();

NOTE:
I am answering your Topic Question "Is there an equivalent to JavaScript parseInt in C#?", just give you some idea, NOT write your code for you. You need to first do a filtering on 'Alphabetical Characters', you can do it with Regular Expression or a simple string.Replace, or up to you.
