✅ input string is not correct format

Context: I was playing around the advent-of-code posted by someone else, a line of his code kept giving me this error

ìnput string is not correct format

ìnput string is not correct format

I tried tryparse etc but to no avail. The precise error position is at line 15

var targetY = int.Parse(data[0]);

var targetY = int.Parse(data[0]);

the full code is here: https://github.com/bradwilson/advent-2022/blob/main/day15/Program.cs

I read a lot of SO posts about the input not converted to int (which triggered the error)
, but here he uses

[0]

[0]

so would it be enough for the input to be parsed int? (this is my uneducated guess)
