Regex to extract specific numbers in a String

string temp = "12345&refere?X=Assess9677125?Folder_id=35478";
I need to extract the number 12345 alone and I don't need the numbers 9677125 and 35478.
What regex can I use?

Here is the regex for extracting 5 digit number in the beginning of the string:
^(\d{5})&
If length is arbitrary:
^(\d+)&
If termination pattern is not always &:
^(\d+)[^\d]
Based on the Sayse's comment you can simply rewrite as:
^(\d+)
and in case of the termination is some number(for instance 999) then:
^(\d+)999

You don't need regex if you only want to extract the first number:
string temp = "12345&refere?X=Assess9677125?Folder_id=35478";
int first = Int32.Parse(String.Join("", temp.TakeWhile(c => Char.IsDigit(c))));
Console.WriteLine(first); // 12345

If the number you want is always at the beginning of the string and terminated by an ampersand (&) you don't need a regex at all. Just split the string on the ampersand and get the first element of the resulting array:
String temp = "12345&refere?X=Assess9677125?Folder_id=35478";
var splitArray = String.Split('&', temp);
var number = splitArray[0]; // returns 12345
Alternatively, you can get the index of the ampersand and substring up to that point:
String temp = "12345&refere?X=Assess9677125?Folder_id=35478";
var ampersandIndex = temp.IndexOf("&");
var number = temp.SubString(0, ampersandIndex); // returns 12345

From what you haven given us this is fairly simple:
var regex = new Regex(#"^(?<number>\d+)&");
var match = regex.Match("12345&refere?X=Assess9677125?Folder_id=35478");
if (match.Success)
{
var number = int.Parse(match.Groups["number"].Value);
}
Edit: Of course you can replace the argument of new Regex with any of the combinations Giorgi has given.

Get specific word from string

I've Table URL and I'd like select Table Name only. What is the best approach to achieve it?
URLs:
"db://SQL Table.Table.[dbo].[DirectoryType]"
"db://SQL Table.Table.[dbo].[IX_AnalysisResult_ConceptVariations]"
"db://SQL Table.Table.[dbo].[IX_AnalysisResult_DocXConcepts]"
DESIRED OUTPUT:
DirectoryType
IX_AnalysisResult_ConceptVariations
IX_AnalysisResult_DocXConcepts
NOTE: These URLs will have db://SQL Table.Table.[dbo]. in common most of the time so I am using following code to achieve this:
CODE:
var trimURL = tableURL.Replace("db://SQL Table.Table.[dbo].", String.Empty).Replace("[",String.Empty).Replace("]",String.Empty);
OUTPUT:
DirectoryType
IX_AnalysisResult_ConceptVariations
IX_AnalysisResult_DocXConcepts
If for some reason URL prefix is changed then my code won't work. So what is the best way to get a table name from these type of URLs?

You could get the last index of '[' and ']' and get the substring therein:
var startIndex = tableUrl.LastIndexOf('[') + 1; // +1 to start after opening bracket
var endIndex = tableUrl.LastIndexOf(']');
var charsToRead = (startIndex - endIndex) - 1; // -1 to stop before closing bracket
var tableName = tableUrl.Substring( startIndex, charsToRead );
Of course, this assumes you can guarantee no brackets in your table name.
References:
String.Substring
String.LastIndexOf

You can use this regex to match the last thing inside the last group of [] that appears immediately at the end of a string:
\[([^\[^\]]*)\]$
At input db://SQL Table.Table.[dbo].[DirectoryType] you grab the string DirectoryType.
The $ symbol means the end of a string.
You can see it in action here.
An example:
var match = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(#"\[([^\[^\]]*)\]$", RegexOptions.Singleline);
Match match_result = match.Match("db://SQL Table.Table.[dbo].[DirectoryType]");
string result = "";
if (match_result.Groups.Count > 1)
result = match_result.Groups[1].Value;
//result = "DirectoryType"
Remember using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

var matcher = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(#"^.*\[(?<table>.*?)\]""$", RegexOptions.Compiled);
var results = matcher.Match(/*your input string*/);
Inspect the results in the debugger and you'll find how to extract what you are looking for.
Note that this pattern assumes that your data actually includes the quotation marks shown in your question.

you were doing it right, i just used split on '.', I am assuming your url contains minimum anything.[DirectoryType]"
string op = tableURL.Split('.')[tableURL.Split('.').Length - 1].Replace("[", "").Replace("]", "");

Splitting on “,” but not “/,”

Question: How do I write an expression to split a string on ',' but not '/,'? Later I'll want to replace '/,' with ', '.
Details...
Delimiter: ','
Skip Char: '/'
Example input: "Mister,Bill,is,made,of/,clay"
I want to split this input into an array: {"Mister", "Bill", "is", "made", "of, clay"}
I know how to do this with a char prev, cur; and some indexers, but that seems beta.
Java Regex has a split functionality, but I don't know how to replicate this behavior in C#.
Note: This isn't a duplicate question, this is the same question but for a different language.

I believe you're looking for a negative lookbehind:
var regex = new Regex("(?<!/),");
var result = regex.Split(str);
this will split str on all commas that are not preceded by a slash. If you want to keep the '/,' in the string then this will work for you.
Since you said that you wanted to split the string and later replace the '/,' with ', ', you'll want to do the above first then you can iterate over the result and replace the strings like so:
var replacedResult = result.Select(s => s.Replace("/,", ", ");

string s = "Mister,Bill,is,made,of/,clay";
var arr = s.Replace("/,"," ").Split(',');
result : {"Mister", "Bill", "is", "made", "of clay"}

Using Regex:
var result = Regex.Split("Mister,Bill,is,made,of/,clay", "(?<=[^/]),");

Just use a Replace to remove the commas from your string :
s.Replace("/,", "//").Split(',').Select(x => x.Replace("//", ","));

You can use this in c#
string regex = #"(?:[^\/]),";
var match = Regex.Split("Mister,Bill,is,made,of/,clay", regex, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
After that you can replace /, and continue your operation as you like

Regex cut number in a string c#

I have a string as following 2 - 5 now I want to get the number 5 with Regex C# (I'm new to Regex), could you suggest me an idea? Thanks

You can use String.Split method simply:
int number = int.Parse("2 - 5".Split('-', ' ').Last());
This will work if there is no space after the last number.If that is the case then:
int number = int.Parse("2 - 5 ".Split('-', ' ')
.Last(x => x.Any() && x.All(char.IsDigit)));

Very simply as follows:
'\s-\s(\d)'
and extract first matching group

#SShashank has the right of it, but I thought I'd supply some code, since you mentioned you were new to Regex:
string s = "something 2-5 another";
Regex rx = new Regex(#"-(\d)");
if (rx.IsMatch(s))
{
Match m = rx.Match(s);
System.Console.WriteLine("First match: " + m.Groups[1].Value);
}
Groups[0] is the entire match and Groups[1] is the first matched group (stuff in parens).

If you really want to use regex, you can simply do:
string text = "2 - 5";
string found = Regex.Match(text, #"\d+", RegexOptions.RightToLeft).Value;

C# Regex Split - How do I split string into 2 words

I have the following string:
String myNarrative = "ID: 4393433 This is the best narration";
I want to split this into 2 strings;
myId = "ID: 4393433";
myDesc = "This is the best narration";
How do I do this in Regex.Split()?
Thanks for your help.

If it is a fixed format as shown, use Regex.Match with Capturing Groups (see Matched Subexpressions). Split is useful for dividing up a repeating sequence with unbound multiplicity; the input does not represent such a sequence but rather a fixed set of fields/values.
var m = Regex.Match(inp, #"ID:\s+(\d+)\s+(.*)\s+");
if (m.Success) {
var number = m.Groups[1].Value;
var rest = m.Groups[2].Value;
} else {
// Failed to match.
}
Alternatively, one could use Named Groups and have a read through the Regular Expression Language quick-reference.
