Parse and add numbers in a string?

I'm wanting to make a small program that when people paste in some long text like below:

05/01/2009 02:14:59 Ad Package Bonus in amount of 4.
05/01/2009 02:14:59 Ad Package acquired in amount of 16.
04/30/2009 11:05:37 Ad Package Bonus in amount of 2.
04/30/2009 11:05:37 Ad Package acquired in amount of 11.


That I can have a button that will ad up the numbers on the right side

So the solution would be: 33

Any Ideas??

This is how you can get everything in between "amount of " and "." from a string and turn that string into a number:

Code:

---

myString = "04/30/2009 11:05:37 Ad Package acquired in amount of 16."
startNo = myString.indexOf("amount of ")+10;
stopNo = myString.lastIndexOf(".");
grabAmount = myString.substring(startNo,stopNo);
trace("grabAmount="+grabAmount);

---

No matter what is pasted in, it shows 16 only...

The code behind the button:

on (release) {


myString = "04/30/2009 11:05:37 Ad Package acquired in amount of 16."
startNo = myString.indexOf("amount of ")+10;
stopNo = myString.lastIndexOf(".");
grabAmount = myString.substring(startNo,stopNo);
trace("grabAmount="+grabAmount);

//answer text box below
answer = grabAmount;


}

How can I get the code to look at every line of text??

I know I'm close!

Thank You Moot, but now it only shows 16 for the output no matter what is pasted into the text box...

see if this method works for you -

PHP Code:

---

// input textfield - instance name - inp
// button - instance name - btn

function findNum(val) {
for (var i=0;i<=val.length;i++) {
char = val.charAt(i);
if (!isNaN(char)){ break; }
}
return parseInt(val.substr(i));
};

btn.onRelease = function(){
total = 0;
arr = [];
arr = inp.text.split("\r");
for(var n=0;n!=arr.length;n++){
arr[n] = arr[n].toString().substr(31); // remove date/time/Ad Package
total += findNum(arr[n]);
}
inp.text = "total = "+total;
}; 


---

copy/paste to inp textfield -
05/01/2009 02:14:59 Ad Package Bonus in amount of 4.
05/01/2009 02:14:59 Ad Package acquired in amount of 16.
04/30/2009 11:05:37 Ad Package Bonus in amount of 2.
04/30/2009 11:05:37 Ad Package acquired in amount of 11.
results in total = 33

Make myString equal to whatever var is assigned to the textbox.

myString = myTextBoxVar;

thanks so much that helps alot!
