Extract portion of filename C#

Hey, I have filenames like this: R303717COMP_148A2075_20100520_19230.txt (the R number and the other numbers vary, but same format)

I would like to extract the 148A2075 and 20100520 separately into variables for use inserting in a column of my sqlite db.

any help is appreciated.

string filename = "R303717COMP_148A2075_20100520_19230.txt";

string[] chunks = filename.Split('_');

Console.Writeline(chunks[1]); // this prints 148A2075 

Console.Writeline(chunks[2]); // this prints 20100520

Sounds like a job for the String.Split() method. Example:

string name = "R303717COMP_148A2075_20100520_19230.txt";
string[] tokens = name.Split('_');

// tokens[1] == "148A2075"
// tokens[2] == "20100520"
