Subject: Re: regexp problem

If you're only trying to pull out the single number, this REGEX will  
work for the whole phrase you provided.

One of the things you want to do with a REGEX is to avoid any more  
detail than is necessary to find what you're looking for.  The REGEX  
does not need to "match" the whole string.
