number part of string to variable

[mrxqware]

Hi there,

I've got a region named building12
I would like to get the integer from the string and save it in a variable.

on region enter:
   message "Entering %region%."
    if "%region%" contains "building":
       set {_tempstring} to region

The output of %region% is:

building12 in world world

I would like to save the number in the string in a variable.

So when a player enters a region named: building14

then the variable should be set to: 14

What's the best way to do that?

Hope you can help me.
Many thanks in advance.

on region enter:
    message "Entering %region%."
    if "%region%" contains "building":
        set {_region::*} to "%region%" split at " "
        replace all "building" in {_region::1} with ""
        set {_tempstring} to "%{_region::1}%" parsed as an integer
# {_tempstring} is your output

on region enter:
    message "Entering %region%."
    if "%region%" contains "building":
        set {_region::*} to "%region%" split at " "
        replace all "building" in {_region::1} with ""
        set {_tempstring} to "%{_region::1}%" parsed as an integer
# {_tempstring} is your output

You could just do:

set {_num} to first element of (split "%region%" by " ") parsed as "building%int%"
