Does C# have built-in support for parsing page-number strings?

Question

Does C# have built-in support for parsing strings of page numbers? By page numbers, I mean the format you might enter into a print dialog that\'s a mixture of comma and das

Answer 1

Below is the code I just put together to do this.. You can enter in the format like.. 1-2,5abcd,6,7,20-15,,,,,,

easy to add-on for other formats

    private int[] ParseRange(string ranges)
    { 
        string[] groups = ranges.Split(',');
        return groups.SelectMany(t => GetRangeNumbers(t)).ToArray();
    }

    private int[] GetRangeNumbers(string range)
    {
        //string justNumbers = new String(text.Where(Char.IsDigit).ToArray());

        int[] RangeNums = range
            .Split('-')
            .Select(t => new String(t.Where(Char.IsDigit).ToArray())) // Digits Only
            .Where(t => !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(t)) // Only if has a value
            .Select(t => int.Parse(t)) // digit to int
            .ToArray();
        return RangeNums.Length.Equals(2) ? Enumerable.Range(RangeNums.Min(), (RangeNums.Max() + 1) - RangeNums.Min()).ToArray() : RangeNums;
    }
