try `"BC/PO/88/2018".Split('/')[2]` if the string format is same — programtreasures, Mar 14 '18 at 06:28

you can make use of regular expression and extract number

Match match = Regex.Match("BC/PO/88/2018 f" , @"(\d+)");
if (match.Success) {
   return int.Parse(match.Groups[0].Value);
}

other way is you can do with the help of String.Split as suggested in comments if you are sure about string coming as input i.e. sure about format of string.

You could use Regular Expressions:

string strRegex = @"[A-Z]{2}/[A-Z]{2}/(?<MyNumber>[0-9]*)/[0-9]{4}";
Regex myRegex = new Regex(strRegex, RegexOptions.None);
string strTargetString = @"BC/PO/88/2018";

foreach (Match myMatch in myRegex.Matches(strTargetString))
{
  if (myMatch.Success)
  {
    // Add your code here
  }
}
