Need to get two values out into an array from string split

I have a string that looks like this:

var result = "y-9m-10y-9m-11y-0m-02y-0m-03";

I need to make 2 lists: one for all the y- objects(9,9,0,0) and another for the m- objects(10,11,02,03). How can I do this?

I have this older code from before that doesn't care about the y- objects. Now I need to get both sets.

var result = "m-10m-11m-02m-03";
var months = result.Split(new[] { "m-" }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

Quick and dirty solution using regular expressions and LINQ:

var months = Regex.Matches(result, @"m-(\d+)").Cast<Match>().Select(m => int.Parse(m.Groups[1].Value));
var years = Regex.Matches(result, @"y-(\d+)").Cast<Match>().Select(m => int.Parse(m.Groups[1].Value));

Note that this doesn't do any error checking.

Edit: In the question you seem to use the extracted strings without converting them to int. In this case, omit the int.Parse and use m.Groups[1].Value directly.
