How to remove numbers from string using Regex.Replace?

Try the following:

var output = Regex.Replace(input, @"[\d-]", string.Empty);

The \d identifier simply matches any digit character.


You can do it with a LINQ like solution instead of a regular expression:

string input = "123- abcd33";
string chars = new String(input.Where(c => c != '-' && (c < '0' || c > '9')).ToArray());

A quick performance test shows that this is about five times faster than using a regular expression.


Blow codes could help you...

Fetch Numbers:

return string.Concat(input.Where(char.IsNumber));

Fetch Letters:

return string.Concat(input.Where(char.IsLetter));
