The line doesn't always start with &quot;<a href="ftp" rel="ugc">ftp</a>:&quot;? &nbsp;i.e., it could sometimes be &quot;Some other stuff <a href="ftp" rel="ugc">ftp</a>: 123345 etc etc&quot;?

The line doesn't always start with "ftp [ftp]:"?  i.e., it could sometimes be "Some other stuff ftp [ftp]: 123345 etc etc"?

The one caveat to tgerbert's pattern, and I don't think it will come to play here, is that if the number following &quot;<a href="ftp" rel="ugc">ftp</a>: &quot;&nbsp;were not followed by a space and had a string immediately following it (e.g. &nbsp;&quot;<a href="ftp" rel="ugc">ftp</a>: 5590252bytes&quot;), then the match would fail due to the use of the word boundary at the end of the pattern. Again, I don't perceive that to be an issue here &nbsp;= )

Hi,<br />
<br />
I can't seem to find a way for searching for &nbsp;random number in a string. for example <br />
<br />
&quot;150 Opening BINARY mode data connection.<br />
226 Transfer complete<br />
<a href="ftp" rel="ugc">ftp</a>: <b>5590252 </b>bytes sent in 9.45Seconds 591.31Kbytes/sec.&quot;<br />
<br />
I need to find the number that is in bold above which could be a different number every time and be placed in a different position. It will however, always be after &nbsp;&quot;<a href="ftp" rel="ugc">ftp</a>: &quot;. I then need to assign that number to a variable int.<br />
<br />
Can anyone help on this please?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

How to find a random number in string

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.
