Subject: Nuby question - printing substring as non-ASCII

I'm reading in a string of numbers, as follows:

"   1    45.3456   "

How do I write out the first non-whitespace element as a number?  Ruby 
wants to express as it in ASCII, and the .to_i method doesn't seem to 
work on a substring.

Thanks in advance.

TPL
