How can I paste the "plain" text of a string to int? C#

Question

I'm making an application which edits specific memory addresses of a process chosen by the user. I've to convert a string for example "0x7ffe0030,0x7ffe6000" to a list of strings and for every string in the list I've to paste the plain text of the string as int for example: if the string is "0x7ffe0030", the int must be 0x7ffe0030.

I've trivially tried to do that:

foreach (var address in addressListRaw)
{
 int a = Int32.Parse(address);
}

but it obviously doesn't work.

Console.WriteLine("Select the memory addresses to modify.\n" +
            "You can write more than one address separating\n" +
            "every address using the character ','\n" +
            "example: 0x7ffe0030,0x7ffe6000");


string addressesRaw = Console.ReadLine();
List<string> addressListRaw;
addressListRaw = addressesRaw.Split(',').ToList(); 
foreach (var address in addressListRaw)
{
 int a = Int32.Parse(address);
 Console.WriteLine(a.ToString());
}

To parse a 0x prefixed hex literal you can use Convert.ToInt32(String, Int32)

Converts the string representation of a number in a specified base to an equivalent 32-bit signed integer.

foreach (var address in addressListRaw)
{
     int intValue = Convert.ToInt32(prefixedHex , 16);
}
