Get numbers from a string

[HeXetic]

Hopefully there is a quick an easy solution to this but I couldn't see any solution in the help file.

Basically I want to get the integers values out of a string. For example I have the string "IT Manual 18" but I jut want to get the number 18 from it.

Thanks in advance.

Are they all in the format of:

IT Manual ##

If so, then just use a stringtrimleft function, strip the whitespace if you need. If you want it to be changed from a string to a number, use the number() function.

Yeah they are all in the format of IT Manual ## so stringtrimleft should work just fine. Thanks very much.

You can also use StringRegExp to do this. That way if the numbers are in a different place in the string, you can still extract them.

My Solution. I am just learning RegExp, so one of the more experienced users might have a better solution...

CODE

$string = "It Manual # 18"

$ret = StringRegExpReplace ($string, "[^0-9]", "")

MsgBox (0, "", $ret)
