It has always the form of <numeric>,<numeric>[white-space]<string>?

Regular Expressions.
^(?'first'\d+),(?'second'\d+)

Solution 2

string.Split will break a string into all the separate parts, not just the first two, but it will work as Raje_ suggests.
A better solution might be to use a Regex:

^(\w+\s+\w+)

woudl do it.

Solution 3

In addition to the Split function, if the text is long with many words it will probably be more efficient to simply find the first space using IndexOf and then using Substring to get all text up to the space.

Solution 1

Is this what you want?

C#

string strVal = "700,236 lblVoucherNo ";

       string[] newStrArr = strVal.Split(' ');

       string newStr = newStrArr[0];

       Response.Write(newStr);
