How can I substring an ID?

Question

I got a ID which are LSHOE-UCT. How can I substring and seperate those ID in order to become:

gender = "L"
Product = "Shoe"
Category = "UCT"

Here is my code:

    private void assignProductCategory(string AcStockCategoryID)
    {
        //What should I insert?
        string[] splitParameter = AcStockCategoryID.Split('-');

    }

I need to seperate those, ID them and insert to difference table from my database. And that is where I am having the main problem

Answer 1

string[] s = AcStockCategoryID.Split('-');
string gender = s[0].Substring(0, 1);
string Product= s[0].Substring(1, s[0].Length - 1);
string Category = s[1];
