Extracting a number from a string in system verilog

[dave_59]

In reply to rubendah:

It is best to use a regular expression for this. See System veilog Regular expressions | Verification Academy

Otherwise you can the following steps

1. Convert the string to an array of bytes
2. Remove any trailing spaces
3. Use find_last_index on the array to find the last embedded space.
4. Use substr() to select the last word in the orginal string.
5. Use $sscanf to convert that last word to a value.
