"Finding" doubles in strings

Hi all,

I was wondering if it's possible to do a "double.valueof(string)" and avoid the "Invalid Double" error if my string is something like:

"3 is the magic number"

My string will always begin with a number (just trust me, it will), but it could be of any length, so I can't use "substring". Any ideas?

Thanks,

Lee

Try doing something like:

Double.valueOf(myString.split(' ')[0]);
