Getting a substring from a string after a particular word

I have below String.

ABC Results for draw no 2888

I would like to extract 2888 from here. That means, I need to extract characters after no in above string.

I'm always extract the number after the word no. The String contain no other no letter combinations elsewhere within it. String may contain other numbers and I don't need to extract them. Always there will be a space before the number and the number I wish to extract always be at the end of the String.

How could I achieve this ?

Solution 
  • yourString.substring(yourString.indexOf("no") + 3 , yourString.length());
