I currently use this

C#

Regex.Split(machinedata, @"[^0-9\.]+").Where(c => c != "." && c.Trim() != "");"

to extract the numbers into an array and then calculate them. Is there any other better way .. ??

My problem is not with the regex(regex works fine) . I am a beginner, So I would like to know the best practices like how you pro's deal with this sort of thing ..??

You can always parse by yourself, but it get messy quickly.
Regex is the best deal, both easy and powerful.
