Thanks that's sort of what I put together as well.

Using your example:

               String yourString = "A string that contains number
30 that needs to be parsed out";
               Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\d+");
               Matcher m = p.matcher(yourString);
               if(m.find())
               {
                  int yourInt =
Integer.parseInt(yourString.substring(m.start(), m.end()));
                  }
               System.out.println("result: " + yourInt);

I got:

java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
    yourInt cannot be resolved

    at SSLTransportLayer08.getResponse(SSLTransportLayer08.java:149)
    at SSLTransportLayer08.main(SSLTransportLayer08.java:74)

Which means it never found anything.. ???
I'm puzzled..

Actually not J2EE, but here we go:

String yourString = "A string that contains number 30 that needs to be
parsed out";
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\d+");
Matcher m = p.matcher(yourString);
if(m.find()){
  int yourInt = Integer.parseInt(yourString.substring(m.start(),
m.end()));
}

Cheers
