Parse command -last line of data

[joeb5110]

I'm not getting the hang of the parse command, despite reading some tutorials and posts. I want to break up a line of text and retrieve data.
For example, my pbx tells me: TEMPERATURE IS 85 DEGREES
I should be able to split that into 4 parts, and just care about the "85" and make a variable out of it.
Thanks for any assistance.

Something like this

line [COLOR=#804040][b]=[/b][/color] [COLOR=#ff00ff]'TEMPERATURE IS 85 DEGREES'[/color]
[COLOR=#0000ff]/* using parse */[/color]
[COLOR=#804040][b]parse var[/b][/color] line p1 p2 p3 p4
[COLOR=#804040][b]say[/b][/color] [COLOR=#ff00ff]"the number is"[/color] p3

[COLOR=#0000ff]/* using the function word */[/color]
num [COLOR=#804040][b]=[/b][/color] [COLOR=#008080]word([/color]line[COLOR=#804040][b],[/b][/color] 3[COLOR=#008080])[/color]
[COLOR=#804040][b]say[/b][/color] [COLOR=#ff00ff]"the number is"[/color] num

Thanks for the tip. I did find an example in the documentation that helped me. In my application, I need to read the line that was output.
For example, TEMPERATURE IS: 25 DEGREES C 77 DEGREES F

I came up with:

temp=ZocLastLine()
PARSE VAR temp temp1 temp2 temp3 temp4 temp5 temp6 temp7 temp8
CALL ZocSend "^M"
a=" "
SAY store||a||temp6 temp7 temp8
CALL ZocSend "^M"

"store" is set earlier and is the telnet connection name.
"a" is just a space. The result comes out the way I want:
Store 100 77 DEGREES F
From there I can play around, maybe have a statement if temp6>90 "put out the fire!" and so on.

If you do not need the other parts of the line use dot variables...

Parse line . . . temp .

And concatenating this way...
store temp6 temp7 temp8
is the same as store||" "||temp6 temp7 temp8
which is the same as what you have used.
