You need to also make sure that you get the right line, not just pick
out the any digits

DATA.each do |line|
  if line =~ /^Success - new device-id: \((\d+)\)/
    puts $1
  end
end

__END__
uk-xxxxxxx-Z15A14
Adding uk-xxxxx-Z15A14 (uk-xxxx-Z15A14) as "Generic SNMP-enabled Host"
using SNMP v1 with community "public"
Success - new device-id: (26)

The $1 is the captured value, the (\d+) part.
