I'd go with Rob's suggestion - use a regex match.
So your string can be:
@text = "Your are registered as a Member, we will SMS you soon. Ref
ID: 12345"
# (or any number in place of 12345...)
@refID = @text.match(/\d+/).to_s
@refID will then contain the number, returned as a string (you can
convert it to_i
if you need to do any math operations on it but I assume you don't).
If you want to make the match more precise, and the number is always
at the end of the
sentence and after "Ref ID:", you could even do something like this:
@refID = @text.match(/ID:\s\d+$).to_s.gsub(/ID:\s/, "")
This will only match numbers after "ID: " and that are at the end of
the string - it then
removes the "ID: " part and you are again left with the number
returned as a string.
