pattern puzzle

In the following example #### represents any number of varying length.

{\cf11\super ####}

I need a way to run through a string like...

This is a {\cf11\super 87} number for you {\cf11\super 653}.

...and replace the {\cf11\super ####} with just the number where the #### is. The result of the above would then be...

This is a 87 number for you 653.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I should clarify that in the process of replacing each result I need to store the #### in a variable so I can't simple search for "{\cf11\super" and "}" and remove them.

you could use

myString.LastIndexOf("{cf11\super")

to find the place in your sentence where the number starts, then find the index of "}" and pick up what's between it into a variable using

substring

...?
And then you would be able to replace "{\cf11\super" and "}" with an empty space

hope this helps and i'm not misunderstanding what you're trying to do!

you got it right thank you. The other way i found is to use RegularExpressions.

Thanks a bunch.
