    var a = "There are 138 records in table"

function Test()
{
  Log.Message(getCount(a));
}

function getCount(str)
{
  str = str.replace("There are ","")
  str = str.replace("There is ","")
  str = str.replace(" records in table","")
  str = str.replace(" record in table","")
  return VarToInt(str)
}

    Bobik, interesting approach!

     

    Naveenks, in addition to Bobik's suggestion, please take a look at regular expressions - this is a powerful instrument to work with strings. You can find more information here:
