how to ignore strings starting with numbers

string strToTest = "123";
Regex reNum = new Regex(@"^\d+$");
(or regex(@"^\d{5}$");
bool isNumeric = reNum.Match(strToTest).Success

......

int a;

if(Int32.TryParse(yourstring.SubString(0,1), out a) == true)
    MessageBox.Show("Yes, this is start with number");

....

Tried using the regular expression first with this as data

123first test
second123 test
this123third test
123

all of them went through, as if there was no test

Secondly i tried the Int32.TryParse but it seems that my string wont allow substrings


here is what i'm working with

                            foreach (string s in myString)
                            {
                                if (!(startString.Contains(s)))
                                {
                                    Regex reNum = new Regex(@"^\d{5}$");
                                    bool isNumeric = reNum.Match(s).Success;
                                    if (!isNumeric)
                                    {
                                        myString[count] = s;
                                        list = new KeyValueList(myString[count], lineTemp, index);
                                        myList.Add(list);
                                        count++;
                                    }
                                }
                                index++;
                            }

Select allOpen in new window

Try it with 1 instead of 5
Regex reNum = new Regex(@"^\d{1}$");

Didn't work either.

On second thought, it would be better if it would just not accept any string with a digit in it.
If this makes it easier.

So all these would fail the test.

123first
second123
this123third
123

Does the user needs to input this in a textbox ? Then I would also accept only numeric values, ...

internal static bool IsNumeric(string numberString)
{
    foreach (char c in numberString)
   {
        if (!char.IsNumber(c))
             return false;
   }
   return true;
}

worked perfect for what I was doing. Only thing was I used IsDitgit.
