C# .Net4 Check Reader MICR Number Parsing

I开发者_运维百科 have searched on this, but I think my question is a little more specific than what's out there.

I intend on creating a class that reliably reads a MICR number and sharing the source if I can get a reliable one created.

Anyhow, I looked at .Net POS MICR, and from what I can tell it won't take a value that you've scanned outside of .Net.

My scenario:

I am provided with the MICR numbers. Here are a few examples (altered of course):

T012345609T 2123456U $0000044336$

T123456080T1010123456535U01183

U014749U T062000080T2000697098326U

U005195U T099884411T426549872265U

I need to reliably parse out this information in C# and supply the following, if available:

1. Check number
2. Routing number
3. Account number
4. Amount of check

I have written code for it, but I quickly found that there are different ways a MICR number can be printed on a check, as you can see above.

Does anyone have any suggestions, code examples, or even another post/link where this is being done already? I'd hate to reinvent the wheel if it's already done.

thanks!
