You can use this regex:

(?<days>\d+)d\D*(?<hours>\d+)h\D*(?<minutes>\d+)m\D*

which matches 10days25hours15minutes and 10d25h15m. (and also others)

You may want to make it more accurate according to your needs.

Example code:

var match = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match("10days25hours15minutes", @"(?<days>\d+)d\D*(?<hours>\d+)h\D*(?<minutes>\d+)m\D*", System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
if (match.Success)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Days: {0} Hours: {1} Minutes: {2}", match.Groups["days"], match.Groups["hours"], match.Groups["minutes"]);
}

Text.Split(new string[]
    {"days", "hours", "minutes"},StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)

Or

Text.Split(new string[]{"d", "h", "m"},StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)

return your number ordinaly...

Regex.Match(str, @"(?<days>[0-9]+)(d|days)
                   (?<hours>[0-9]+)(h|hours)
                   (?<minutes>[0-9]+)(m|minutes)");

Then retrieve the values using match.Groups["days"].Value, match.Groups["hours"].Value, match.Groups["minutes"].Value.

Assuming the input string consists of three decimal numbers each terminated by one or more non-digits, you can use the following regular expression:

var match = Regex.Match("10days25hours15minutes", @"(\d+)\D+(\d+)\D+(\d+)\D+");

var result = new TimeSpan(
    days: int.Parse(match.Groups[1].Value),
    hours: int.Parse(match.Groups[2].Value),
    minutes: int.Parse(match.Groups[3].Value),
    seconds: 0);

// result == {11.01:15:00}
