c# string of numbers to array of two value numbers

Question

Hello I am new to C# and trying to learn. I require some help if anybody is able to help I would really appreciate it.

So I am making a program that takes lottery numbers from a website and compares them with the user imputed numbers. I have managed to this but the problem I have is that I get the numbers as a string like this 384826453514 then I compare the string with he user input, so as you can tell if I enter 3 8 4 6 5 1 its says win!

How can I parse or change that string to an array of Integers that have two values like this int[38][48][26][45][35][14] (I know this is not an actually array).

Any help would be very much appreciated even to point me in the right direction.

how do you know if 384826... is 38, 48, 26 ... or 38, 4, 8, 2, 6 ... ? — Amit

Should it really say "win" if the numbers are 38 48 26 45 35 14 and the user inputs 38 46 51 (the example you have provided)? — C.Evenhuis

Being unable to uniquely identify the separator seems like a very serious problem to me. I would start from solving that. — Erki M.

Assuming, 4 would be entered as 04 , and all numbers have 2 long, you can do this :

var input = "38482645351404";
var numbers = Enumerable.Range(0, input.Length/2).Select(i => int.Parse(input.Substring(i*2, 2))).ToArray();
