Use Split method in strings and retrive the data you want
ex code in your case will be.

Dim Strg as String = ".123.45678"
Dim Str() as String 
Str=Strg.Split(".")

Str is a array which will contain you string. Str(0) will have "" , Str(1) will have 123 , and Str(2) will have 45678.

Wont using an Extract-Until-Encounter-Dot (Starting with str[1]) method be much more faster here, since your string's pattern is definite?

I think there is no problem with the speed of the Split function, cause its a inbuilt method...
