Thread Subject: reading a value in a string

lets say I got a string C = "this is for testing1", how do I get that value 1 in that string into an integer? I know I can find the length(C) then what? There's fgets and fread but I don't know how to setup those functions up to find that value 1 at the end of that string.

For your specific example:
C = 'this is for testing1'
h = C(end)
answer = str2num(h)
